Sounds & Sweet Airs - A Shakespeare Songbook

The 37 songs in this recital, written by 27 composers – male, female, English, French, Swiss, German, Romantic, modern and contemporary – bear witness to the richness of Shakespeare’s works to which this recital is dedicated. Organized in the form of a play in five acts, including prologue and epilogue, the songs are in turn cheerful and sad, light and profound, classical and jazzy. (BIS)
