About

In a Berlioz, Schubert or Poulenc recital, the French lioness live.

Born in Marseille in 1927, Régine Crespin finally gave in to her illness on July 5, 2007. The woman Americans had dubbed the "French Lioness" had battled two cancers, as she recounts in a wonderful memoir (À la ville, à la scène, published by Actes Sud). Fortunately, we still have these archive images of her, taken at different points in her career.
