An evening of song recorded in the music room of Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge's home in Switzerland in 1978
Many songs that are still popular today were written for the French salons or the Italian salotto of the 19th Century. On these two CDs we share an intimate evening 'at home' with Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge as they perform a wide selection of songs written for these glittering occasions.
'Songs that were rarely intended to be heard in the impersonal surroundings of the concert hall are now returned, with the aid of the gramophone recording, to their rightful place - the drawing-room.'
