Gail / Villoutreys / Izambert - Romances D'empire - Music CD

Like a shooting star, the French singer Sophie Gail filled her short life with music and passion. Publishing her first romances at the age of 15 in 1790, this divorce who led a free life (with four children from four different fathers) achieved fame as a composer at the Opra-Comique in 1813, while having her romances hummed by all of the Empire's "Belle socit". They are brought back to life with spirit and brio by the magnificent duo of Malys de Villoutreys and Clara Izambert.
