Spanish culture has intrigued and fascinated the French soprano Patricia Petibon since she was a child. She senses a strong popular expression in Spanish artistic creation, and in her first recitals she included repertoire by Spanish and also Latin American composers. This was the basis for her album Melancolía, here partially revisited by a singer known for the intensity with which she approaches her interpretations. «On stage,» Petibon believes, «charisma is indispensable».
