About

The poetry of Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), now considered to be one of the greatest American writers, expresses a profound depth of feeling which has long been an inspiration to composers of art songs. Eight of the finest in this genre explore Dickinson’s universal themes of love, death, immortality, and man’s relationship with nature, from Aaron Copland’s famous evocative settings, to songs from Scott Gendel’s ASCAP/Lehmann prizewinning cycle Forgotten Light.

Lee Hoiby’s profoundly moving contributions are his last recording as a pianist.

Emily Dickinson’s often quirky but always unmistakable poetry has a vast readership, and this collection of settings by eight acclaimed composers of art-songs opens new dimensions to her fascinating world, riding high on an already explosively successful literary phenomenon.

Aside from her contributions to numerous fine recordings of core repertoire, such as her “pure-toned, girlish vulnerability” in Verdi’s Falstaff (Gramophone on 8.660050-51), Julia Faulkner’s “sumptuously creamy voice” (Opera News) made her album of songs by Lee Hoiby (8.559375) a great success, as it will in this carefully selected programme of songs set to poems by Emily Dickinson.
