"Je mourrais de plaisir..."

The lovely Suzanne Bona, host of Sunday Baroque — a weekly radio program that showcases music composed in the Baroque era (1600-1750) and the years leading up to it — featured my performance of Michel Lambert’s air de cour “Vos mespris chaque jour” from way back in 2013.

This air is one of the shimmering, intimate jewels of early French song repertoire; its depth, tenderness, and immediacy are hallmarks of Lambert’s song writing, and he was truly a master of the genre.
