Songs Of Love From The American Songbook – Lorna Windsor

Lorna Windsor, accompanied here by the excellent Gian Francesco Amoroso, is one of the leading experts in the contemporary American repertoire. Known both for her vocal quality and for a texture capable of infusing strength and warmth even in the most difficult works, she presents us with a work that can be defined as almost unsettling. His “Songs of Love from the American songbook” as well as being a celebration of American music of the twentieth century, a hymn to a pure love made of very subtle lights and shadows, never shouted, never forced and always smoothed into an almost ethereal composure, is also an almost inexhaustible source of discovery. Authors known for their complex music such as Crumb here rediscover themselves bewitching in a moving tenderness and refinement, as well as the gaiety of Bernstein, the gentleness of Musto or the passion never stunned by Samuel Barber. A treasure chest of pearls to be discovered slowly one by one.
