Joyce DiDonato EDEN Limited Vinyl 2LP Set
Overview:
EDEN is an invitation to return to our roots. It is an overture to engage with the sheer perfection of the world around us, to consider if we are connecting as profoundly as we can to the pure essence of our being. It is a clarion call to contemplate if our collective suffering isn’t perhaps linked to the aching separation from something primal within and around us. This is a vivid musical exploration through the centuries to remember and to create a new EDEN from within. ~ Joyce DiDonato
Repertoire: from Handel to Ives, from Gluck to Mahler, exploring the majesty, might, and mystery of Nature through both arresting and evocative music, Joyce takes us on an emotional journey to reconnect to the power and fragility of Nature, exploring our place within the wondrous world around us
On EDEN Joyce is joined by the original instrument ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro and Maxim Emelyanychev
Rachel Portman’s piece is specially composed for Joyce DiDonato, a world premiere recording
