DiDonato, Joyce
Into the Fire
CD
7 Sep 2018
Barcode: 0190295642198
Composer: Strauss, Lekeu, Debussy, Heggie, Gruber
Other participants: Brentano Quartet: Mark Steinberg, Serena Canin, Misha Amory, Nina Maria Lee
Recorded live at London’s celebrated Wigmore Hall, this captivating recital by Joyce DiDonato and the Brentano Quartet was conceived around Jake Heggie’s song cycle Camille Claudel: Into the Fire, a work written for DiDonato – she describes it as “one of most moving projects I’ve ever been part of”. Songs by Debussy and Strauss and a quartet movement by Guillaume Lekeu complete the programme, which prompted the Financial Times to write that “the beauty and range” of DiDonato’s singing “are surely now at their impressive peak.”
