The Myrthen Ensemble consists of rising stars in the world of art song and Lieder, featuring soprano Mary Bevan, mezzo-soprano Clara Mouriz, tenor Allan Clayton and baritone Marcus Farnsworth, accompanied by pianist Joseph Middleton. Introducing this project, Middleton explains that the moon has, since antiquity, inspired artists, musicians and wordsmiths. The programme on this album looks to its many characteristics for inspiration. The songs are at turns consoling, sometimes seductive in serenades and occasionally paint the moon as a threatening force through its extinguishing of the suns rays. The moon’s silver beams cast their magic in music by Brahms and Schumann and inspire the exquisite treatment of Clair de lune by a selection of the finest French song composers. A selection of short English nocturnal overtures is also included.
