NIGHT SONGS:Renee Fleming and Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Uni/Decca - #467697

A wonderful first collaboration between France’s “exciting pianist” and America’s “beautiful voice”: Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Renee Fleming make exceptionally beautiful music while celebrating the mysteries of the night with songs by Gabriel Faure, Claude Debussy, Joseph Marx, Richard Strauss and Sergei Rachmaninov. Fleming and Thibaudet performed the songs in this album on a recital tour of the US in the Spring and Fall of 2001, followed by a European Tour in January 2002.
