Product details
Elizabeth Campbell has long been a tireless promoter of
Australian art song. Together with Tony Fogg, back in the 80s,
she presented a series of recitals devoted to this genre (From
Nathan To Now). Two decades later she is committing some of this
energy and expertise to a recording of songs that set the poetry
of Australia's most loved poet, Judith Wright. The repertoire
ranges from a song cycle by Margaret Sutherland, to a beautiful
new cycle by Richard Mills (specially commissioned for this
recording), to Ross Edwards' wonderfully evocative The Lost Man
from his 2nd Symphony, and Moya Henderson's intriguing quartet
arrangement of Woman's Song in which Ms Campbell sings all four
parts. There is also Sutherland's setting of The World and the
Child, for voice with string trio, and Ian Munro's own settings
of two poems.
This is a landmark recording by one of Australia's favourite
singers, together with the ever versatile Ian Munro at the piano,
and a significant addition to the recorded repertoire. It was
made possible by funding from the Music Fund of the Australia
Council and a significant private donation.
Duration: 67 min.
Liner notes include programme notes, song texts and brief biographical notes on performers.
