Harbison: String Trio, 4 Songs of Solitude, Songs America Loves to Sing

John Harbison is one of the most celebrated and wide-ranging American composers of our time. This collection from harmonia mundi, performed by the American chamber ensemble Camerata Pacifica, explores several facets of Harbison’s music. His abiding interest in jazz, folksong and hymns is exemplified by Songs America Loves to Sing. It is paired with the Four Songs of Solitude for solo violin and the world premiere recording of his String Trio, which was commissioned by Camerata Pacifica.

Trois facettes de John Harbison. La riche diversité du jazz, du folksong et des cantiques intéresse depuis longtemps l’éminent compositeur américain John Harbison (né en 1938) et nourrit son inspiration, comme en témoignent le recueil instrumental de solos et canons "Songs America Loves to Sing" (2004), les "Four Songs of Solitude" (1985) pour violon seul, et le premier enregistrement mondial du String Trio (2013), commandé et interprété par des membres de Camerata Pacifica.
