    Overview

    ‘The staggering, joyful artistry ofJoyce DiDonato reminds us thatin any generation there are fewgiants,’ observed Jake Heggiein Gramophone.

    The Americancomposer’s insightful understandingof her art can be heard in CamilleClaudel: Into the Fire, written forDiDonato in 2012. The song-cycleresponds to the creative genius andtragic end of the sculptor CamilleClaudel, Rodin’s muse and lover andan artistic giant of her generation.
