"Ms Strohl is a composer of genius who particularly excels in setting the loveliest poems to music." (La Nation, February 26, 1903) Rita Strohl is an atypical figure in the history of music. Attracted to both the Wagnerian universe and symbolism, she composed works of chamber music as well as grand lyrical and symphonic soundscapes. This recording featuring performances by exceptional vocalists - Elsa Dreisig, Adèle Charvet and Stéphane Degout - is the first volume of a three-part project dedicated to the music of Rita Strohl. It is entirely devoted to her songs, most of which have never been recorded until now.
