About this product
Clare Lesser is a specialist in new vocal music and 'is blessed with a gorgeous voice and terrific technique' (Musical Pointers). Her previous releases have garnered great praise for her ability to cope with advanced technical requirements as well as being able to sing 'straight' with a most beautiful mellifluous tone and perfectly controlled vibrato. Husband David accompanies and also provides a major work on this program of lieder by some of our age's most inspired composers. Both Lessers teach at New York University in Abu Dhabi as well as performing, recording and doing much research. Heinz Holliger is perhaps best known as oboist and conductor but has a sizeable oeuvre including many song cycles, while Wolfgang Rihm is one of today's highest achievers in the art of lieder composition. Finnissy's work, on texts by Goethe, is an example of his vital contribution to the realm of modern vocal music.

![Sookkyung Cho - Schubert's 1817 Sonatas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d585693a-6916-449a-bad6-6670c175b280.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Schubert moved to Vienna in early 1817, which was the center of musical activities in Europe at that time. Schubert focused strongly upon composing piano sonatas, and the result was these four superb works. Korean-born pianist Sookkyung Cho brings these sonatas truly to life. Noted for her Inchsensitive and imaginativeInch (New York Concert Review) playing, Sookkyung Cho has been captivating worldwide audiences with her personal, thoughtful expressionist style. She has appeared in venues such as Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Chicago Cultural Center, Sarasota Opera House, Baltimore Museum of Art, Montreal Conservatory, Beaux concerts de la releve in Quebec, Château de Fontainebleau in France, and Zijingang Theater at Zhejiang University in China, among others, and was recently heard on Chicago's WFMT.

In WAM, British composer Michael Finnissy plays with various elements of Inchmusical cultureInch - rearranging and re-contextualizing old InchclassicsInch, writing chamber music without traditional synchronicity, and allowing performers the freedom to reorder their pages of music. Through this deconstruction of classical conventions, Finnissy creates music that is endlessly surprising and wide-ranging in it's emotional character.
