Andere Infos:

Aria for Edward John Eyre uses a siren-like solo soprano, narrators and ensemble to recreate the tale of the explorer's epic journey across Australia; the contrasting What Shall I Sing? is a delightful collection of nonsense rhymes.

"David Lumsdaine's Aria for Edward John Eyre is a work of major status... this recording is especially welcome... and Gemini [are] virtuosic and thrilling as ever under the direction of Elgar Howarth."
Gramophone 1993
