Recital

Program included: "four completely contrary styles in four languages: Henry Purcell's Old English, in a sacred cantata close to Monteverdi, noblesse heightened to painful expressiveness; the inextricable connection between speech melody and sophisticated harmony in Debussy's Verlaine settings; most recentely in partly sloppy-humorous ('I hate music,' 'La bonne cuisine') partly naive-optimistic ('Somewhere') Americanisms by Leonard Bernstein."
