  • Description

    For his programme Songs from Faust, pianist Mark Austin teams up with soprano Anna Cavaliero, mezzo-soprano Margo Arsane, and baritone Jolyon Loy to bring to life a captivating selection of Lieder inspired by Goethe's Faust. The collection showcases a blend of famous masterpieces and rediscovered gems, six of which are receiving their world premiere recordings. A standout feature of the album is the inclusion of diverse musical settings of the same text, allowing listeners to appreciate how different composers interpret Goethe's verses. Additionally, the album presents two solo piano pieces, capturing the essence of domestic music-making in the nineteenth century, and offering a chance to experience the intimate and contemplative side of the Faust legend. Mark Austin and his ensemble deliver a performance that honours the historical significance of these works and brings a fresh, engaging perspective to the timeless tale of Faust.
