About
La Bonne Chanson in its version for voice and piano quintet is the musical meeting-point between Karine Deshayes and the artists of the Ensemble Contraste, all great lovers of and specialists in French music. Zig-Zag Territoires has been following Karine Deshayes’s recording career since her first recital disc featuring Fauré’s Le Jardin clos and La Chanson d’Ève, released in September 2009, and continues to accompany the Ensemble Contraste in its development after the release of its CD Café 1930 (Piazzolla) in January 2009.

This CD offers a gentle introduction, for the Op.15 Piano Quartet and Verlaine song-cycle, which are among his most charming works. The quartet’s dappled fluency emerges here with unforced eloquence, while Karine Deshayes reveals the nine songs of La Bonne Chanson as an essay in quiet romantic elation.
