Hanna’s title track brings a French art song into the same small room as melodies that reached popular culture through Broadway and film.
The album is especially good at exposing those indirect routes: Borodin arrives through Kismet, Mozart through Elvira Madigan and Dvořák through the song “Going Home”.
