Nicole Cabell has been featured often on AfriClassical. Her first Delos disc was issued July 8, 2014:
Delos [Audio Sample (2:56)]
Chanson d’avril
Nicole Cabell, Soprano
Craig Terry, Piano
French chansons and mélodies
“It’s a voice that wraps itself around you … long, sinuous phrasing, warm tone and a sophistication that touches everything she sings.” —The Times of London
Such praise is entirely typical of critical reaction to American
soprano Nicole Cabell’s ravishing singing, whether from operatic,
concert or recital stages worldwide. Indeed, this captivating artist has
taken the classical world by storm since she won the BBC Cardiff Singer
of the World award in 2005.
Drawn strongly to the French vocal repertoire, Nicole
Cabell – in this, her first recording for Delos – explores the world of
the chanson, and its direct descendant, the mélodie: France’s answer to
the German Lied, or art song. Among the finest of mélodie composers are
represented: Georges Bizet, Henri Duparc, Franz Liszt and Maurice
Ravel. Nicole’s rich, silky-smooth voice and beautifully nuanced
interpretations are supported with sensitivity and elegance by pianist
Craig Terry.
