BOTTI, SUSAN - LISTEN, IT'S SNOWING (CD)

"Emergency Music series. As a composer or as a soprano, Susan Botti is an accomplished and sensitive artist, but she is at her finest when she performs her own work. This CD features her performing two powerful dramatic works: Telaio: Desdemona, a musical portrait of the heroine from Shakespeare Othello scored for soprano and chamber ensemble; and Jabberwocky, a lively setting of the classic Carroll text scored for soprano and percussion. Three original French songs and an e.e. cummings setting round out this eloquent and moving collection. A persuasive interpreter of contemporary music, Botti is especially known for her extensive collaborations with Tan Dun." (LABEL INFO)
