Conductor Ensemble Composers

Notes & Reviews:

Named for the ancient Greek word for 'nightingale,' ÆDONIS is the fledgling men's ensemble of choral group The Esoterics. This debut CD features well-known compositions on the topic of love by Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns, and Barber alongside new compositions like Love letters, four Tatar folksongs arranged by Bern Herbolsheimer, Ngam sang duan, a Thai song arranged by Steven Sametz, and two works by Donald Skirvin: Songs of the nightingale, and Yet, love endures. The crowning work on this disc is Eric Banks' cycle of seven sonnets that Michelangelo composed for his lover, Tomasso de' Cavalieri, entitled Sonneti d'amore.
