Description
Aria for Edward John Eyre uses a siren-like solo soprano, narrators and ensemble to recreate the tale of the explorer's epic journey across Australia; the contrasting What Shall I Sing? is a delightful collection of nonsense rhymes.
'David Lumsdaine's Aria for Edward John Eyre is a work of major status ... this recording is especially welcome ... and Gemini [are] virtuosic and thrilling as ever under the direction of Elgar Howarth' Gramophone
