ABOUT THIS CD

On this new recording, Canadian composer Harry Freedman presents the listener with a varied retrospective of his vocal works written over a forty-year period between 1953 and 1993. Ranging from the haunting vocalise for soprano with lute in Bright Angel to the moving tribute to a great composer in Epitaph for Igor Stravinsky for tenor and string quartet, Freedman provides vocal music lovers with a solid collection of his best works in the genre.

"The recorded sound is excellent, as is the cover art of a Chinese bamboo painting -- by the composer no less! This must be considered an important release for anyone interested in Canadian music."
- Joseph So, Opus
