“The free-flowing late 19th-century Romanticism of Ernest Chausson overflows with colour and opulence. And if any voice was destined to match this music, it was that of Jessye Norman, whose account of Chausson's Poème de l'amour et de la mer has long been one of her most admired performances.
The appropriately French sound of the Monte Carlo orchestra conveys [the] complex web of emotions [of the Poème d'Amour] in all its subtle shades, matching the gloriously refulgent tone of the American soprano herself.”
