On knowing somone


Elly Ameling with Rudolf Jansen performing Poulenc's setting of Vilmorin's C'est ainsi que tu es
Voilà, c’est ton portrait,
C’est ainsi que tu es.
Et je veux te l’écrire
Pour que la nuit venue
Tu puisses croire et dire
Que je t’ai bien connue

for me, Poulenc has a way with the words he sets, just gets under the skin of them. Tried to find a video of someone actually singing it (rather than an audio recording) but - so far - I've not succeeded.
Thanks for stopping by
