Notes & Reviews:

The American mezzo Stephanie Blythe sings three works of high Romanticism, all depicting, in different ways, a sense of loneliness, abandonment and spiritual crisis. Brahms' autobiographical Alto Rhapsody for alto, male chorus and orchestra has long been one of the core works of the alto/mezzo repertoire; Wagner's intimate Wesendonck-Lieder are performed here in Henze's version for chamber ensemble, while the heart-wrenching Abschied (Farewell) from Das Lied von der Erde is heard in the delicate arrangement by Mahler's disciple Schoenberg.
