Exaudi at the Wigmore

[ardcarp]

In their recent recital (Chromatic Renaissance) three contemporary vocal works were included:

Elisabet Dijkstra: here, now (world premiere)
Sylvia Lim: paper wings
Christopher Fox: senso commune

It takes some pluck, not to say phenomenal musicianship, to sing them....live.

You can also watch them on the Wigmore Hall YouTube channel - some interesting vocal techniques for "paper wings" ~23:30 mins in.
Very heartening to see such a large audience.

I misread this as Einaudi at the Wigmore.

It's strange that there are at least two British composers seem to like to write music based on renaissance madrigals -- first Michael Finnissy and now Christopher Fox. I enjoyed the Fox on this recording, also it was interesting to read the text by Gramsci.
