  Reynaldo Hahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reynaldo Hahn (born August 9, 1875 in Caracas, Venezuela, died January 28, 1947 in Paris, France) was a naturalised French composer, conductor, music critic and diarist.
Hahn was just three years old when his family moved to Paris, and there is little doubt about the enormous impact this move would make on the future composer.
Hahn played the piano accompaniment to his own singing of Jacques Offenbach's arias on this occasion; just a few years later at the age of eight, Hahn would compose his first songs.

 Reynaldo Hahn - Composer - Conductor - Singer and Accompanist [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- April 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Hahn, of course, was not a professional singer; he did appear at suitably elegant Parisian soirées but his recording career as a singer is quite out of proportion to any public career in the role though clearly not out of proportion to his contemporary musical celebrity.
Hahn on the other hand is utterly robust; he’s jaunty, not sexy, with the canal-lapping rhythms choppy and animated, the slither of a piano postlude at the end strong and decisive; no sensual crooning for Hahn, this is a hummed song recollected in strength not an invitation to love.
Hearing Hahn sing is a fascinating experience and hearing the tradition he came to embody, though himself not French born, is one that can, without exaggeration, be traced throughout the course of this splendid disc.

Hahn's best-known songs from the early part of his career are Offrande and D'une prison, both settings of poems by Paul Verlaine; L'énamourée, to a text by Théodore de Banville, and Infidélité.
Hahn did not intend that this sequence should be sung by one voice only; programmes for early performances show the songs being distributed among several singers.
Mme Boué, who was one of Hahn's favourite singers during the last years of his life (he encouraged her to sing Leonore in Fidelio), is heard in a recent interview recalling her work with Hahn at this time.
