Just days after her final performances in Mozart’s “Requiem”, Beth Taylor returns to the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence on 17 July for a recital with renowned pianist Julius Drake.
The program spans the elegant mélodies of Reynaldo Hahn, Edward Elgar’s evocative “Sea Pictures”, and Schumann’s beloved song cycle “Frauenliebe und Leben”. It also spotlights three remarkable French women composers, Hedwige Chrétien, Germaine Tailleferre, and Augusta Holmès, whose rarely performed songs offer a fascinating complement to the evening’s better-known masterpieces.
