Released Sep 2024
US Price $19.00
 
Volume Two documenting Barbara Hannigan's collaboration with Downtown alchemist John Zorn presents four dramatic pieces for voice and ensemble—three composed expressly for Hannigan! Liber Loagaeth, a meditative composition for voice and string quartet that lies somewhere between a spell and a prayer—Star Catcher, a powerful tour-de-force for voice, piano, and rhythm section—Ab Eo, Quod, scored for voice, cello, vibes, electronics, and drums—and a Zorn classic, Pandora's Box, his dramatic take on the Lulu legend, and who better to interpret it than the definitive 21st century Lulu—Barbara Hannigan! A fabulous and varied program highlighting the productive and inspiring relationship of one of the world’s greatest sopranos with one of our most adventurous and uncompromising composers!
