Karina Gauvin unspools glowing tone and captivating phrasing

THE SONGBIRD: Born 1966 in Quebec, Karina Gauvin's parents were both professionally trained opera singers. Gauvin joined the Canadian Children's Opera Chorus at the age of eight. As a teenager she began to study singing with mezzo Catherine Robbin in Toronto, and several years later entered the Conservatoire de Musique du Québec à Montréal. She won First Prize at the CBC Radio National Competition in 1995, among other competition wins. Gauvin made her professional opera debut in Glimmerglass in 1996. While she has performed operatic roles on stage, mostly baroque works, her primary focus has been concerts and recitals and she has sung with many of the leading orchestras around the world and has become a prolific recording artist. THE MUSIC: Henri Duparc (1848–1933) is known for the 17 art songs he composed between 1868 to 1884, about one per year. A mental illness, diagnosed at the time as "neurasthenia," caused Duparc to abruptly to cease composing at age 37, in 1885, though he lived for another 48 years. Here are four of his most regularly programmed -- and most beautiful -- mélodies, sung by Gauvin in a Montreal recital in March 2009. 00:00 Chanson triste 03:26 Phidylé 08:41 Soupir 12:16 L'invitation au voyage
