![]() ![]() As Claudel sings on the night before she is taken away, DiDonato conveys her fear, powerlessness, and mounting paranoia. When her utterances become more dramatic, her tone is convincing, her commitment total. ![]() “DiDonato immediately establishes her mastery by voicing Claudel’s opening line, “Last night, I went to sleep completely naked,” with a perfectly sweet, extended pianissimo. Stereophile commended her performance, saying: DiDonato recorded this song cycle, based on the life and work of the French sculptor Camille Claudel, at Wigmore Hall with the Brentano Quartet in 2018 (More information and purchase links available here). The concert will be broadcast live via France Musique. DiDonato will be accompanied by the Orchestre National de France under the baton of Pierre Bleuse. Written especially for DiDonato, she describes Heggie’s song cycle as “one of most moving projects I’ve ever been part of.” For the French premiere, Ms. Joyce DiDonato performs the French premiere of Jake Heggie’s song cycle Camille Claudel: Into The Fire on February 23 at Maison de la Radio et de la Musique in Paris. ![]()

I am here to tell you that someone was.” The wry little moment is perfectly indicative of Didion’s unsparingly ironic critical voice.
