Interpretation
The performers, Sandrine Piau and David Kadouch, aimed for an optimistic and energetic recording, emphasizing enjoying the journey regardless of the destination.
Album & Artwork
The album's title, "Voyage intime" (Intimate Journey), reflects the common thread of new horizons and encounters that inspired the performers.
Performer Biography
Soprano Sandrine Piau notes a paradox in her career: despite being irreligious, her voice often leads her to roles of angels, who have no doubts about religion.
Interpretation
The recital's structure is designed to create a larger narrative by assembling small stories, or lieder, to express something unique and personal.

The artists chose songs that explore themes of being snatched away from the living, with the final piece, La mort des amants, offering a counterpoint of immortality through love.
Recording & Production
The album was recorded in September 2022 at Teldex Studio Berlin, with Martin Sauer as recording producer and René Möller handling sound engineering and mixing.
