The fifth song of Hahn’s cycle Chansons grises, L’heure exquise (The Exquisite Hour) paints a peaceful, moonlit scene with the words of the poet Paul Verlaine. Hahn uses docile ascending and descending arpeggios to create a magical atmosphere while the simple transcribed cello line eventually reaches for the heavens with a sublime leap.Yves Dharamraj
