More Information:

An unusually probing singer—with a pure and sensitive soprano voice—sings an unusual program. She alternates between two inimitable composers, each unique in his time, to English-language texts: Henry Purcell from the Baroque era and George Crumb from contemporary America. Both create special sound worlds, dependent on vivid musical reactions to words.
