Collection: Vocal Collection Subcollection: Vocal and PianoThe second in a two part set of Beethoven's Lieder und Gesänge, with the luminous collaboration between the tenor, John Mark Ainsley and his accompanist Iain Burnside. Beethoven himself was not a keen song writer, yet despite this almost half of his total works call for a voice. This disc includes some of the best of those compositions.
John Mark Ainsley is accomplished as both a concert and operatic vocalist, performing at some of the most well renowned venues in the world. As well as having great experience and success as a live artist he also benefits from an extensive discography which covers repertoire from Bach to Stravinsky.
Iain Burnside enjoys a unique reputation as pianist and broadcaster and is most recognised for his collaborations with leading international singers. This will be Iain's seventh disc with Signum Classics. |

Collection: Vocal Collection Subcollection: Vocal and PianoTIain Burnside and Ailish Tynan return to Signum with their second disc of Irish Songs and arrangements - this time from a range of different 20th Century composers.
Although all of the sung texts stem from Irelands rich heritage of literature (including poems from W.B. Yeats, Thomas Moore and James Joyce), the composers featured here have a more transatlantic feel, with works by John Cage and Samuel Barber programmed alongside others by Benjamin Britten and Herbert Hughes.
This disc continues Burnside’s series of recital discs with Signum - in particular his 2007 disc with Ailish Tynan of Irish songs by Herbert Hughes, A Purse of Gold (SIGCD106):
“The word 'arrangement' as Burnside suggests, doesn't do justice to the inventive piano writing and pacing of so many of these pieces ... Soprano Ailish Tynan's feeling for the musical idiom and, above all, the poetry of her countrymen, matched by Burnside's delightfully poetic pianism, prove irresistible. Highly recommended" - 5 Stars

Collection: Vocal Collection Subcollection: Vocal and Piano"Ilona Domnich gave the most compelling performance…I have ever witnessed…..I have seen a lot of Voix Humaines…this was the first I’ve ever known to leave me on the edge of tears." Michael White, Opera Now
A stunning debut album from an up and coming young opera singer, Ilona Domnich. This diverse album covers a range of styles, as Ilona says …”some of the songs are very difficult. For instance some parts of the Strauss songs are very acrobatic, on the other hand the lyrical Italian songs, while ostensibly less technically demanding, call for intense musicality and sensitivity”
Ilona Domnich is a young soprano who is getting recognized, her debut disc for Quartz was recently featured on Performing to the Red Light on BBC Radio 4

Collection: World Premiere Recording Subcollection: Vocal and PianoSara Mingardo is one of the few rare authentic contralto voices on today’s music scene, and last year she won the prestigious Premio Abbiati 2010 as ‘Best Italian Singer’. Here she wonderfully interprets, in a thrilling World Première Recording, lyrical pieces for voice and piano by Guido Alberto Fano, with Aldo Orvieto at the piano.
G. A. Fano was born in Padua in 1875 and he died exactly 50 years ago in a small town in Friuli. His approach to song seems akin to that of Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), who spoke of a new interest among Italian composers for vocal chamber music: “Incipit vita nova”, he proclaimed, with Dantesque tones he greeted the salvation of the genre from the monopoly enjoyed by the previous generation, first and foremost, the huge output of Abruzzo-born Francesco Tosti. A “new life” on which Pizzetti embarked by shedding the yolk of pleasant melody and conventional cadential formulae. These little known but highly attractive lyrical pieces, composed on immortal masterpieces by two great Italian poets, Giosuè Carducci (1835-1907) and Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912), clearly show Fano’s distance from the precepts of late 19th-century drawing-room song. |
