Benjamin Appl explores repertoire inspired by or written in the USA, but by composers who were not themselves American: Korngold, Dvorák, Weill, Schoenberg, and the Anglo-American Rebecca Clarke. The exception is a set of three songs by Samuel Barber that was composed for the great German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
Tonight’s Emerging Artists begin the concert with a performance of Thomas Adès’s Five Eliot Landscapes, five brilliantly inventive and colourful settings of the American poet TS Eliot that include views of New Hampshire, Virginia and Cape Ann.
