Fiançailles pour rire : Mélodies françaises

"As one might expect ... from an artist who once styled herself an actress first and a singer second, Dessay can be idiosyncratic: if you value sound over sense in this repertoire, you might need a period of adjustment before her strengths become apparent ... Cassard is wonderfully elegant, refined and super-subtle throughout ... Stick with the disc if you're unsure of it at first hearing - it takes its time to fully yield its secrets and get under your skin".
