Jonathan Dove: Sappho Sings
) | Label: CONVIVIUM RECORDS Catalog: CVI076 Format: COMPACT DISC London Mozart Players; Fairhaven Singers; Woodward, RalphIt’s testament to the force of Sappho’s art that, even though practically all that remains of her work is, tantalisingly, just fragments, those fragments of her work still have the power to move, intrigue and inspire us. Huge thanks to Ralph Woodward for giving me the opportunity to set Alasdair Middleton’s wonderfully immediate translations, to the London Mozart Players for their fiercely vivid playing, and to the Fairhaven Singers for making Sappho sing again with passion and love.
