For her first album on Linn soprano Cassandra Wright has recorded a programme that offers a musical exploration of various facets of human nature. In the Twilight encompasses composers as varied as Barber, Joseph Marx, Debussy, Grieg and Korngold. In Cassandra’s own words, ‘Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, which was the initial inspiration for this collection of songs, evokes the innocence and wonder of childhood through its enchanting description of a carefree summer evening. The exploration of human longing is reflected in two richly coloured works written by the 23-year-old Korngold, who was profoundly impacted by the First World War and his forbidden romance with a young actress. Continuing towards the more hopeful and optimistic nature of night and dreams, we explore uplifting songs by Marx, Grieg and Debussy.’ This luminous album, with pianist Harry Rylance, is part of the Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series.
