Ailish Tynan has made a speciality of French song. The mélodies of Gabriel Fauré lie at the heart of his romantic but elusive style, and this selection ranges from the composer's youthful embrace of Italian style to late and quietly innovative settings of Verlaine in which simplicity and profundity of expression go hand in hand.

Presenting the major singers of today and the stars of tomorrow, the Rosenblatt Recitals are London's only world-class season of opera recitals. This new partnership with Opus Arte will see 5-6 CDs released per year, based predominantly on studio recordings with occasional bonus live tracks.

"Often her first priority with making expressive points is tone. It's hard to blame her because she has so much of it that one could almost mistake her for a mezzo-soprano...When Fauré pares the music down to the core...Tynan acquires admirable interpretative selflessness." (Gramophone, Jan 2014)
