{"product_id":"arne-beach-britten-sounds-sweet-airs-a-shakespeare-songbook","title":"Arne \/ Beach \/ Britten- Sounds \u0026 Sweet Airs - A Shakespeare Songbook (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 37 songs in this recital, written by 27 composers - male, female, English, French, Swiss, German, Romantic, modern and contemporary - bear witness to the richness of Shakespeare's works to which this recital is dedicated. Organised in the form of a play in five acts, including prologue and epilogue, the songs, which include several duets, are in turn cheerful and sad, light and profound, classical and jazzy - thus allowing, in Carolyn Sampson's words, 'a breadth of responses to these great texts'. Alongside well-known melodies, such as those by Schubert, there are musical adaptations by different composers of the same texts, as well as a contemporary reflection for the two voices by Hannah Kendall exploring the question of gender fluidity and identity through the elusive character of Rosalind from As You Like It. After many acclaimed releases on BIS, including Album für die Frau, a collection of songs by Clara and Robert Schumann, A Soprano's Schubertiade and Elysium, two Schubert recitals, as well as a number of themed recitals, some of which were named 'Recording of the Month' by MusicWeb International and 'CD-Tipp' by BR Klassik, Carolyn Sampson and Joseph Middleton are joined here by renowned British baritone Roderick Williams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Fathom Five [01:14]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirge for Fidele [03:55]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lover and His Lass (version for 2 voices and piano) [01:39]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33 Shakespeare Songs, Op. 24: Book 6: No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArise [01:24]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fairies: You Spotted Snakes (arr.
