BRITTEN: Death in Venice
Two productions of Death in Venice within a month : one high budget and glamorous at the ENO and the other at Aldeburgh with a much more humble pedigree.
LASSUS: Psalmi Davidis pœnitentiales
Among Lasso’s vast output there are few works more imposing than his collected settings of the seven penitential psalms.
WAXMAN: Joshua
Franz Waxman was working with librettist James Forsyth on an opera, Dr. Jekyll, when the composer’s wife died.
MAHLER: Urlicht
Mahler: Urlicht is a recording of selected songs for voice and piano from various collections of
the composer’s Lieder, including his early settings from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the later Wunderhorn Lieder that Mahler set in the 1890s in versions with both orchestral and keyboard accompaniment, and also his Rűckert-Lieder, performed by the young mezzo soprano Christianne Stotijn accompanied by Julius Drake.
