Robert Kyr: The Cloud of Unknowing - Songs of the Soul


Craig Hella Johnson leads Conspirare, soprano Estelí Gomez, baritone David Farwig, and the Victoria Bach Festival string orchestra in this first recording of three choral works by Robert Kyr (b. 1952). Exploring the relationship between human and divine love, his cantatas The Cloud of Unknowing (2013) and Songs of the Soul (2011) transfixed audiences and critics alike when Conspirare premiered them. "A powerful new achievement in American music that vividly traces a journey from despair to transcendence" (The Wall Street Journal, concert review)

Sous la direction de Craig Hella Johnson, l'ensemble Conspirare, les solistes Estelí Gomez (soprano), David Farwig (baryton) et l'orchestre à cordes du Victoria Bach Festival présentent le premier enregistrement de trois œuvres chorales de Robert Kyr (1952-). The Cloud of Unknowing (2013) et Songs of the Soul (2011), deux cantates sur le thème des rapports entre l'amour humain et l'amour divin, ont subjugué le public et la critique lors de leur création par Conspirare. "De la désespérance à la transcendance, l’intensité de ce cheminement est une réussite: la musique américaine s’orne d’un nouveau fleuron." (The Wall Street Journal, critique de concert)
