This 2013 Alba SACD features four 20th-century composers exploring vocal music: Britten, Henze, Schoenberg, and others. The performances come from Finland's Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra and Uusinta Ensemble, with soprano Anu Komsi and others. The repertoire ranges from British lyricism to German expressionism to complete modernism, unified by artistic ambition and emotional depth. These are challenging, rewarding works that don't always wear their beauty obviously; you need to listen carefully. The SACD format delivers exceptional sound quality. This is for serious classical listeners willing to engage with 20th-century vocal music on its own terms. A fascinating survey of how different composers approached voice and orchestra during a transformative period.
