Reves D'espagne / Neven, Eijsackers
Label: Onyx Classics Catalog: 88004041322 Format: CD Dutch baritone Henk Neven and pianist Hans Eijsackers join forces for their third Onyx Classics recording, entitled Rêves d'Espagne (Dreams of Spain). Neven's highly individual timbre is unlike that of any other lieder interpreter. He sings with astonishing technical finesse, verbal acuity and sense of wonder. This superbly crafted recital journeys to Spain for a program that features Don Quixote songs from Ibert and Ravel, a selection of songs by 15th & 16th century Spanish composers (arranged by Arne Dorumsgaard) and Shostakovich's rare 6 Spanish Songs Op.100. Pianist Hans Eijsackers has two moments to shine in the Spanish sun as well with solo pieces by Albéniz and Granados. Price: $23.98 |
