Description:Ein bemerkenswertes Zusammentreffen zweier musikalischer Naturgewalten, endlich auf Tonträger erhältlich! Barbara Hannigan ist eine der furchtlosesten und leidenschaftlichsten Interpretinnen in der klassischen Welt, und hier singt sie zusammen mit dem virtuosen Pianisten Stephen Gosling ein anspruchsvolles Programm mit Zorn-Kompositionen. Zu hören ist die lang erwartete Aufnahme von "Jumalattaret", einem Liederzyklus zur Verehrung finnischer Liniengöttinnen aus dem samischen Schamanismus, und "Split the Lark", Zorns Hommage an die magische amerikanische Dichterin Emily Dickinson. Unter Verwendung einer Vielzahl musikalischer Techniken und Genres bewegt sich die Musik von lyrischer, volkstümlicher Einfachheit bis hin zu komplexeren atonalen und texturalen Pyrotechniken. Als Bonus ist ein seltenes Stück aus der Jugendzeit enthalten: das charmante surrealistische Lied "Nazdar, Poupon, Nazdar". Es wurde um 1971 komponiert, als Zorn etwa 17 Jahre alt war - es ist ein sehr frühes Beispiel für Zorns vielschichtigen Genre-Smashing. In seinen kurzen zwei Minuten Dauer enthält es traditionelle, proportionale und grafische Notation und berührt Tonalität, Atonalität, Messiaen-Vogelgesang, Jazz, Cartoon-Musik, Lyrik, französisches Rezitativ, Flüstern, Vokalise und Stimmgeräusche. -
