![Dominick Argento - A Few Words about Chekhov - Songs & Cycles of Dominick Argento - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b434b4aa-ed95-4e0b-a351-f6883ba1f0c4.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The composer Dominick Argento wrote that he would Inchlike for the listener to be reminded of their own humanity. I want an emotional reaction, anywhere from joy to despair... something that reminds us that we're human.Inch The sets of songs and cycles included in this brilliant recording all speak to this artistic goal and include settings of Olga and Anton Chekhov, Petrarch, Walt Whitman, Walter de la Mare, Alun Lewis, and Argento himself. Mezzo-soprano Adriana Zabala, baritone Jesse Blumberg and pianists Martin Katz and JJ Pena join forces to present this tribute to a great American composer.

Over 30 minutes in length, Duras is a major new composition inspired by the romantic writings of Marguerite Duras and the mystical music of Oliver Messiaen. Seductive, elusive and ritualistic, this album is a hypnotic work of startling clarity and complexity.
