I've been given a promotional copy of a 1998 CD of songs by Reynaldo Hahn, not usually a facet of music I delve into much. I'd heard of Roger Vignoles, the pianist, but not Susan Graham, the soprano. I idly put it in the CD player and the first song, A Chloris, was sheer magic. It has an intensely beautiful piano introduction which demands attention, and would not be out of place in a Handel keyboard suite. The vocal line is equally moving. This is probably old news to devotees of the genre, but for me, it was an unexpected delight. Fortunately, there are twenty-three other songs on the CD and some have already imprinted themselves. Unfortunately, being a promo, all I have is the titles, so I'll be paying Mimi's daughter's web site a visit in search of some words. I'd also like to know something more of Susan Graham.
