Shakespeare Songs

Description

Le ténor anglais celebrates the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare (1616-2016) through an anthology of melodies composed from Shakespeare’s lifetime through the 20th century.
This album is a collection of the finest musical settings of Shakespeare’s texts, ranging from the composers contemporary with the English playwright - Johnson and Byrd -, through melodies by Haydn, Arne and Schubert, to the 20th century with Warlock, Poulenc, Finzi, Korngold and Stravinsky.
Ian Bostridge invited on this recording his friends Antonio Pappano on piano, Adam Walker on flute, Lawrence Power on viola, clarinettist Michael Collins, as well as Elizabeth Kenny on lute.
« Shakespeare has been a part of my life as a lyric artist since my very beginnings, with Benjamin Britten and Thomas Adès.
This recording represents for me a great joy and an achievement » Ian Bostridge
