I’m not a natural fan of the classical voice (or in jazz for that matter*). It is perhaps ironical that I delight in #HeatherHarper’s treatment of #Webern’s #VierLieder (4 songs) für #Singstimme (voiced forcefully?) & #Klavier, Op.12. #CharlesHarper, #piano. Members of #LSO. Directed by Pierre #Boulez. By comparison, imo, #Schoenberg’s 2nd String Qrt is marred by the addition of a soprano. Harper’s performance has an instrumental quality to it. #AntonWebern
*#LadyDay notwithstanding.
