| In a scene
where the recordings of young sopranos tend toward an extreme sameness,
Austria's Anna Prohaska would deserve kudos simply for the ambition of
this release of soldiers' songs. The idea, especially for a female
singer, is original, and the music draws on a great variety of sources,
from Scottish song to Wolfgang Rihm. Better still is the execution,
which shows Prohaska's extreme versatility. She's one of the few
non-Anglophone singers to get the difficult combination of vernacular
American English and popular-classical crossover referentiality in the
three Charles Ives songs included, and she moves effortlessly from the
edgy anger of Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler to the more delicate tragic
sense of Roger Quilter. |
