Times Alone

STRICKLING SAUER

Soprano Laura Strickling and pianist Thomas Sauer perform James Matheson's song cycle Times Alone in live concert. Kiera Duffy originally commissioned Matheson to compose Times Alone but was unable to appear on this recording. Matheson used poems from Antonio Machado while composing Times Alone because of their imaginative and deeply personal observations on spirituality and being. "Strickling impressed with her powerful and expressive voice across a large range, her variety of timbre and character, and playful demeanor embodying lighter moments of this song-cycle." - Classical Scene "...I have now listened to the whole album ten times in the past four days. And I have to say it is an addictive album with truly great music very well performed and recorded...The songs are great and both the soloist and the pianist are impressive." - Chris Rille, Computer Audiophile
