About
In Colors of Feelings offers vivid settings of four moving poems by handicapped Tennessean writer Wynelle Ann Carson, who died tragically young. Les Visages de l’Amour treats six varied poetic visions of love by four remarkable French-language poets (including Lasser himself). Nicolette et Aucassin is a fascinating, one-of-a-kind synthesis of ancient and modern for two sopranos and narrator that was inspired by a Medieval French “Chantefable” (sung fable). The original anonymous manuscript contains both the story and the melodies upon which the composer’s music is based.
The album presents rare and remarkable collaborations between composer and performers. Soprano par excellence Susanna Phillips, who both introduced the composer to Carson’s poetry and commissioned the work, performs 'In Colors of Feelings' most beautifully.
Vaunted soprano Elizabeth Futral brings 'Les Visages de l’Amour' to vibrant musical life. Both singers’ lovely voices intertwine irresistibly in 'Nicolette et Aucassin'. Pianist extraordinaire Margo Garrett, who originally commissioned the final cycle, provides deft and sensitive instrumental collaboration in all three works. Distinguished actor Michael York provides stirring narrations.
