The composer Dominick Argento wrote that he would “like for the listener to be reminded of their own humanity. I want an emotional reaction, anywhere from joy to despair… something that reminds us that we’re human.” The sets of songs and cycles included in this brilliant recording all speak to this artistic goal and include settings of Olga and Anton Chekhov, Petrarch, Walt Whitman, Walter de la Mare, Alun Lewis, and Argento himself. Mezzo-soprano Adriana Zabala, baritone Jesse Blumberg and pianists Martin Katz and JJ Pena join forces to present this tribute to a great American composer.
