Agnes Giebel singing French music is a real rarity

THE SONGBIRD: Agnes Giebel (1921 - 2017) was born in the Netherlands, where she lived the first years of her life before moving to Germany. She studied in Essen and based her career in Koln and Berlin. Her first public appearance as a singer came in 1947. In 1950, she was engaged by the RIAS Berlin for a weekly series of Bach cantatas, which helped establish her as one of the foremost soprano soloists in Bach's works in the 1950s and 1960s including dozens of recordings. Giebel was especially admired as a lieder singer and in the sacred works and cantatas of Mozart, Handel, Telemann, Haydn, and Beethoven, but also branched into the contemporary music Berg, Schoenberg, Hindemith, and Henze. This set of French songs is the only French music I found in her extensive discography -- if you know of any others, comment below. THE MUSIC: Claude Debussy composed over 60 art songs, mostly in the early part of his career. The six songs in the set "Ariettes oubliées" (Forgotten Songs) were written to poems by Paul Verlaine in 1886/87 and published as a song cycle in 1903, with a dedication to soprano Mary Garden. Giebel chose just the first three songs for her recital, with Karl Engel at the piano. 00:00 C'est l'extase langoureuse 02:57 Il pleure dans mon coeur 05:54 L'ombre des arbres
