這是曾在三場大型的國際聲樂大賽中贏得首獎的男高音Laurence Kilsby首張個人專輯,收錄了多位作曲家的藝術歌曲集. Laurence Kilsby以情緒起伏非常戲劇性的風格來做詮釋,極具個人魅力!
Tenor Laurence Kilsby, together with accompanist Ella O'Neill , performs pieces by Brahms, Wolf, Saint-Saens, Britten, Schonberg, Clarke, Heggie, Weil and more. The programme begins from the perspective of youth and all its bright-eyed optimism. From the impressionable, enamoured boy (depicted in 'Der Knabe und das Immlein' and 'La coccinelle') to the reckless abandon of a girl seduced (vividly explored in 'Flickan kom ifran sin alsklings mote' and 'The Seal Man'). These complexities of growing up and the realisation of what it means to love and, conversely, to lust, drive this journey towards its darker themes.
