About
The expectations of silence often placed on women, historically and politically, and music’s power to break through them, are the themes of this deeply personal recital by mezzo-soprano Marta Fontanals-Simmons and pianist Lana Bode.
Their programme reflects and channels the voices of female writers and musicians: Dickinson herself, Sara Teasdale and Virginia Woolf are among those whose words are set in the works brought together here, two of which – Dominick Argento’s From the Diary of Virginia Woolf and Peter Lieberson’s Rilke Songs – were written for great mezzo-sopranos of the recent past, Dame Janet Baker and Lorraine Hunt Lieberson.
‘We are humbled to have had the privilege of curating, for our debut album, a programme of songs that explore mindfulness, personal transformation through adversity, and the journey to maintain a healthy mind and body in an increasingly busy, noisy and turbulent world.’ – Marta Fontanals-Simmons & Lana Bode
