English Art Song - New Recording

[David Lewiston Sharpe]

I am planning a new recording of a song cycle, In The Tavern Of Sweet Songs - a setting of poetry in translation by Edward Fitzgerald. I am working with acclaimed British soprano Lucy Knight, a rising star tenor Ramtin Ghazavi and the pianist Nigel Foster - Artistic Director of the London Song Festival. The recording is planned to take place at the end of April  - following a recital of the cycle on 20 April 2016.

If anyone is interested in supporting this recording we would be most grateful. This will help greatly in furthering the English art song tradition - the cycle is substantial, 17 songs and last about 60 minutes (lyrical and evocative, and draws on Fitzgerald's vivid poetry).

Many thanks indeed for all who see this and take a further look!
