Von Otter gives classic love songs a fitting airing Feb 17, 2009
Two solo piano pieces - brief tributes on the centenary of Haydn's death by Maurice Ravel and Paul Dukas - harnessed slippery, hazy harmonies to solid, classical structure, lending melancholic atmosphere to a juxtaposed trio of prepossessing Reynaldo Hahn songs.
