Soprano Véronique Gens

Our Aix group also enjoyed a performance of Gluck’s Alceste conducted by our friend Ivor Bolton who has brought his Mozarteum Orchestra to us a couple of times. Soprano Véronique Gens was Alceste. What a gorgeous sound and superb acting! Here is sample of her remarkable voice as she sings Fauré’s beautiful Après en rêve (After a Dream). This was my first time to hear her live. Do you know of her voice?
