A unique recital on record of haunting stories in many different languages, all harnessing the timeless expressive power of the human voice on its own, including several works new to the catalogue. Lorna Windsor’s selection of eight 20th and 21st-century composers highlights how the voice incarnates different expressive forms more than any instrument. Left naked in its primeval state, the voice leads each composer to rediscover his personal voice, unfettered by convention. Six of the eight composers represented here were born within the same five years, from 1926 (Kurtág and Feldman) to 1931 (Bussotti, Kagel), in 1929 Pousseur, in 1930 De Pablo. Andriessen was born slightly after in 1939 whilst only Macmillan (b.1959) belongs to the following generation.

Works:

• Andriessen, L: A Song of the Sea
• Bussotti: 7 Fogli: Lettura di Braibanti
• Feldman, M: Only
• Kagel: Der Turm zu Babel
• Kurtág: Einige Sätze aus den Sudelbüchern Georg Christoph Lichtenbergs, Op. 37a
• MacMillan: In angustiis…
• Pablo: Tarde Poetas: Surcar vemos
• Pousseur: Pour Baudelaire
