Ailyn Pérez's new album is one of the first releases in Opus Arte's series devoted to the Rosenblatt Recitals, founded in 2000 by the lawyer Ian Rosenblatt to provide recital showcases for both emerging and established opera singers. Pérez's programme consists of French and Spanish songs with a couple of arias from Massenet's Manon thrown in. She proves to be a fine exponent of French music, discreetly erotic in Fauré's Poème d'un Jour, the cycle that gives the disc its title, and breathtaking in Hahn's À Chloris, with which she opens. The Spanish songs, done with a tang in the tone and an occasional hardness in her upper registers, are less subtle, though Turina's Poema En Forma de Canciones is the disc's intense high point: Iain Burnside, a fine accompanist throughout, comes into his own here, playing Turina's long opening Dedicatoria with tremendous nobility and fire.
