Rebekkah … proves that some people are simply born to perform the music of certain genres or composers. Without reservation I can say much the same about Ms. Graves and French chansons, especially in her readings of the extraordinarily compelling works of Charles Bordes, a contemporary of Debussy. A lyric soprano with a silvery voice, impeccable diction and real interpretive savoir faire, she sings these — as well as music of Debussy and the always charming Duparc — divinely. Very much in the refined tradition of Claire Croiza, Yvonne Printemps and Suzanne Danco… How I would love to hear this splendid chanson interpreter as Melisande! Anyone casting at the moment?”

With something of the crusader combined with the sure, sheer instinct of the performing artist, Ms. Graves has made Bordes her own, tracking down his long unavailable music, mastering it, performing it in recitals and on the air on KING-FM’s Live! by George show, and preparing to record his complete songs.”
