This review is from: Singing Through (Audio CD)
I must thank the Rough Guide or I would never have heard about these great vocal works of John Cge perfectly performed by Joan La Barbara. Unfortunately the introduction says nothing about the songs, but the texts are included and include works from all parts of his career. A few of the standout songs for me are the e.e. cummings text "Forever and Sunsmells" accompanied by percussion that is brutally beautiful. Music for Two by One for voice only (as are most songs on this CDs) in which she sings syllables and The Wonderful widow of Eighteen Strings with words from James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake which I my opinion is as powerful as any song by Schubert. It uses three piano notes only and is perfect for the words he captured.
Buy without hesitation. Pleas excuse typos I have a neurological disease. |
