About
The Liebestod Symphony is a cycle of five songs originally scored for soprano and orchestra, here in piano arrangement. The first four songs are settings of poetry on the subject of Richard Wagner and the fifth a reference to the ‘Liebestod’ from Tristan und Isolde , a subject of great interest to the composer. The texts are by Cosima Wagner, A.C. Swinburne, Gabriele d’Annunzio, Sidney Lanier and John Janeway. This is a mid-price ‘mini-album’ which follows the release in January 2022 of ‘David’s Liebestod’ – extracts from two operas by James Cook.
Helen Lacey is a lyric soprano who recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music where she was a member of the prestigious Academy Song Circle. Paul McKenzie is a specialist repetiteur for several opera companies, and performs as orchestral pianist, accompanist and jazz pianist.
