I wanted to make our first classical release more than just memorable.
So I picked this jewel-like cycle of lieder by an American composer
of genius. Imbuing the timeless lyrics with subtle passion is
an amazing young mezzo with a full contralto range. She’s
accompanied by a rich-sounding winds-and-strings chamber ensemble.
The hall acoustic (Sanders Theater, a Boston Symphony venue in
the early 1900s) was so perfect I needed only two mikes to capture
all the intricately blended beauty of voice, strings, clarinets,
oboes and gorgeous ambience. (#06892)
