Clairières

"Tenor Nicholas Phan and pianist Myra Hang do perfect justice to vocal works by the Boulanger sisters, illustrating their contrasting stylistic leanings ... As his recording of La Bonne Chanson has already shown, he is an outstanding interpreter of French song, and Huang is an equally attentive partner. It's hard to imagine these Boulanger songs could have more convincing advocacy".

"Nicholas Phan and Myra Huang's intelligently programmed recital gathers settings of Maeterlinck and Verlaine by the sisters as preparation for Lili's remarkable 13-song cycle 'Clarières dans le ciel' ... Enchanting when intimate, Phan possesses notable changes of colour, with some magical high singing at the end of Nadia's 'Reflets' ... and with Huang's warm pianism there is much to cherish ... An ideal introduction to this repertoire".

"CDs des Monats: Die sechs Lieder Nadias legen einen goldschimmernden Rahmen um die nervösere, vielfarbiger Liedkunst von Lili ... Nicholas Phan und Myra Huang zeigen uns, warum dieser dem Jugendstil nahe Zyklus zum besten gehört, was im 20. Jahrhundert an Lieder geschrieben wurde: sensibel, farbenreich, stets überraschend und zum Weinen schön".
