Romance, satire and visions of childhood from two distinguished soloists.

Romance, satire and visions of childhood, retold in song by distinguished Czech mezzo Magdalena Kožená and acclaimed pianist Yefim Bronfman.

Romance, satire and visions of childhood retold in song by distinguished Czech mezzo Magdalena Kožená and the acclaimed pianist Yefim Bronfman. Offering a generous selection of some of the 200 songs that Brahms wrote, these songs telling stories of joy, desire and despair in love. Mussorgsky was apparently fond of children and enjoyed speaking to them, and in his song cycle, The Nursery (Detskaya) he presents an unusual view of life from the child's perspective. Shostakovich's songs have an acerbic wit full of parody, reflecting his personal rather than his public persona of the time. And the recital is rounded off with the charming Slovak folk tunes arranged by Bartok into his set of songs known as Village Scenes including scenes of Haymaking, At the Brides, Wedding, Lullaby and Lad's Dance
