Title: Poldowski: Art songs
Post by: mikehopf on Saturday 08 April 2017, 04:59

A new CD on the Delos label of Art Songs by Lady Paul leaves one longing for less.

An uninspired collection , poorly sung by Angelique Zuluaga

According to her biography below she is presently working on a two act opera! She must be well over 100!

Mme. Poldowski (Lady Dean Paul), composer.
   Father: Henri Wieniawski, the famous Polish violinist and composer.
   Among her compositions are "A Miniature Suite," 1912, and a violin and piano Sonata played for the first time at a concert of her works on 4th July, 1912, at the Æolian Hall, also a large number of songs. Mme. Poldowski is at present at work on a two-act opera, the libretto being by M. Maeterlinck.
   [She married Sir Aubrey Dean Paul in 1901 and later became a naturalized British citizen.]
