Exaudi / Weeks,james - Christopher Fox: Trostlieder - Music CD

A suite of German motets, steeped in the music of Heinrich Schtz and the poetry of Martin Opitz;a winsome English partsong, setting Shakespeare's contemporary Edmund Spenser;three angular Italian madrigals intercutting Gramsci with Dante;an experimental score on a text of Yeats;a thrilling whirlwind of vocal sound, scattering syllables from Wordsworth's Prelude like dead leaves in a Cumbrian gale.
