Title - 'Clairières'
Artist - Nicholas Phan & Myra Huang

For those not in the know, American tenor Nicholas Phan is increasingly recognized as an artist of distinction.

Praised for his keen intelligence, captivating stage presence and natural musicianship, he performs regularly with the world’s leading orchestras and opera companies.

Also an avid recitalist, in 2010 he co-founded the Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago (CAIC) to promote art song and vocal chamber music.

Acclaimed by Opera News as being among the top accompanists of her generation, pianist Myra Huang regularly performs in recitals and chamber music concerts around the world.

In addition to many chamber music concerts and recitals at the Palau De Les Arts in Valencia, Spain, she recently performed recitals at Carnegie Halls Weill Hall, the University of Chicago, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with tenor Nicholas Phan, and at Carnegie Halls Zankel Hall with soprano Susanna Phillips.

On Clairières (released January 17th, 2020, via AVIE Records), Grammy Award-nominated tenor Phan and pianist Myra Huang pay homage to Lili and Nadia Boulanger, two exceptional composers of the 20th century who have often been overlooked in favor of their male counterparts.

At the heart of the album is Lilis song cycle (8-20) Clairières dans le ciel alongside which are a selection of songs set to poetry by the sisters contemporaries Verlaine, Maeterlinck, Jammes and Samain.

1. Versailles
2. Heures ternes
3. Reflets
4. Attente
5. Cantique
6. La mer
7. Soleils couchants
8-20. Clairières dans le ciel
21. Soir d'hiver

Performed within a quite breathtakingly layered, and at all times beautiful performance, everything about Clairières is not only perfection to a point of exquisite reach, but moreover actually suits Nicholas Phan’s voice.

Combining his vocally ranging styling with the impressive and highly dedicated work from his pianist, Myra Huang, they both bring forth a masterful and profound sense of musical justice to the vocal works by the Boulanger sisters.
