Multiple award-winners Holger Falk & Steffen Schleiermacher are the ideal duo for this multifaceted selection of songs by Georges Auric, an impressive addition to their Les Sixanthology series.

Auric composed the music for over 250 films such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame(starring Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida), TheWages of Fearand Moulin Rouge. This album includes such popular classics as Moulin des amoursonce lip-synched by Zsa Zsa Gabor. Three chansons from the dazzling musical comedy A nous, la liberte! (FreedomForever)directed by Rene Clair show Auric's creative instinct for captivating melodies.

From bourgeois and provocative in Huit Poemes de Jean Cocteauto romantic and tender in Cinq Poemes de Gerard de Nervaland lute-like Renaissance sounds in Printempsbased on a poem by the 16th century 'prince of poets' - Auric's stylistic versatility seems almost inexhaustible.

'Falk is able to characterize every word so vividly that, if he were singing in Vedic Sanskrit, you'd get the message'reported the Washington Post. His incredibly agile baritone and tremendous tonal range accompanied by Steffen Schleiermacher's sensitivity, verve and virtuosity on the piano yet again take the benchmark up a notch in art song excellence.
