La Captive - Songs Of Widor

Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) and Victor Hugo (1802– 1855) were towering figures in their respective disciplines, both in France, and in the world, during their lifetimes. These songs by Widor, to Hugo texts, cover a variety of emotions, from sweet introspection to quiet desperation. Rebecca Hays is perfect for these works. She and pianist Jeffrey Peterson make the most of these marvelous songs. (Centaur)
