Soire captures the atmosphere of informal, domestic music making. Czech star mezzo-soprano Magdalena Koen offers an intimate and highly personal collection of international songs together with an outstanding group of musical friends, including Sir Simon Rattle, who makes his recording debut as a pianist. The German lied is represented by Brahms (Two Songs, Op. 91 and Five Ophelia Songs, WoO 22) and Strauss (Morgen!), the French chanson by Chausson (Chanson perptuelle) and Ravel (Chansons madcasses), and 20th-century avant-gardism with Stravinsky's Three Songs from William Shakespeare. In between these explorations, Koen revisits her musical roots with a selection of Dvork songs, arranged by Duncan Ward, as well as Jancek's Nursery Rhymes. Soire is the second release of Magdalena Koen's exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE, after having presented the baroque cantatas recital album Il giardino dei sospiri in 2019.
