As she frequently performed opposite our last subject, Swiss tenor Eric Tappy, this episode makes a suitable pendant to that one. Celebrated for her transcendent performances of Baroque music, (Monteverdi and the French Baroque in particular), Yakar was (like previous podcast subjects Eugene Holmes, Oralia Dom\u00ednguez, Hana Jank\u016f, Gwendolyn Killebrew, and Teresa \u017bylis-Gara) also a member of ensemble of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in D\u00fcsseldorf and Duisburg, with which company she performed for more than 25 years, singing a dizzying range of repertoire, everything from M\u00e9lisande to Arabella, Li\u00f9 to Rusalka, Euridice to Desdemona. She also performed Donna Elvira and the Marschallin at Glyndebourne; and was an unforgettable Poppea in the Ponnelle-Harnoncourt Monteverdi cycle filmed for Unitel. In her prime she was also a frequent visitor to the recording studio, singing everything from Rameau to Var\u00e8se, Mozart to Messiaen, with conductors from Harnoncourt to Boulez, Leonhardt to Nagano. She was also a devoted song recitalist and in the later years of her career, she made two recordings of <em>melodies<\/em> for Virgin Records with the admirable support of her long-term accompanist Claude Lavoix. For the majority of this episode, I have chosen excerpts from both of those recordings, featuring the songs of Faur\u00e9 and Hahn, which include settings of poets central to their output, including Paul Verlaine, Armand Silvestre, L\u00e9conte de Lisle, and Th\u00e9odore de Banville, supplementing it with additional material in French by Ravel, Lekeu, Cl\u00e9rambault, Messiaen, and Poulenc. Yakar, who, like R\u00e9gine Crespin and Nadine Denize, studied under the French dramatic soprano Germaine Lubin, was renowned for her faultless technique, her acting prowess, her peerless French diction, and her communicative artistic sensibility, traits of which are all in evidence in all of her recordings from the 1960s through the end of her career in the mid-1990s. Yakar was especially treasured by her colleagues, friends, and students for the warmth and effervescence of her personality, and her devotion to passing on her knowledge and experience to a younger generation of singers. May you delight in the delicacy, humor, precision, and pathos of one of the most prodigiously gifted and versatile vocal artists of her generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"714\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976-714x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976-714x1024.jpg 714w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976-768x1102.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976-1070x1536.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976-1427x2048.jpg 1427w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Yakar-in-1976.jpg 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Louis-Nicolas Cl\u00e9rambault: Non, non, n\u2019\u00e9coutons plus&#8230; Courons \u00e0&nbsp; la vengeance (<em>M\u00e9d\u00e9e<\/em>).
