Taken from her new album ‘Expressionist Music’, Claire Booth and Christopher Glynn explore the world of Schoenberg's songs
Expressionist Music sees Claire Booth and Christopher Glynn range widely through the world of Schoenberg's songs to explore themes that correspond to eight of his own paintings: Expectation, flesh, nocturne, hatred, satire, thinking and tears - an immersive and comprehensive journey through both the complexities of human nature and the world of expressionism. Deconstructing preconceptions surrounding Schoenberg’s compositions, Expressionist Music is a new album featuring remarkable interpretations of Schoenberg’s songs, resonating with timeless beauty and resonance. The fourth in a series of critically acclaimed retrospectives of composers less remembered for their vocal output, Grainger Folk Music, Grieg Lyric Music and Mussorgsky Unorthodox Music.
