Ensemble Phoenix Munich: Lydia Brotherton (soprano), Deborah Rentz-Moore (mezzo), Timothy Leigh Evan (tenor, drum), Joel Frederiksen (bass, guitar), Karen Walthinsen (violin), Andreas Haas (flute), Domen Marinčič (cello) & Axel Wolf (guitar), Joel Frederiksen (bass & direction) “This program is like an American quilt – the individual parts are unique and very different from one another, but it comes together to form one rich tapestry. I would like to give our audience a picture of some of the rich traditions that developed out of our European heritage, but flourished and grew in their own unique way in the New World.” Joel Frederiksen The activities of Joel Frederiksen, artistic director of Ensemble Phoenix Munich, are many-faceted. As a bass singer he has performed with Jordi Savall, Paul O’Dette, and Stephen Stubbs and with the ensembles Musica fiata, Freiburger Barockorchester, Josquin Capella, Ensemble Gilles Binchois, Huelgas Ensemble, The Waverly Consort and the Boston Camerata. As a singer who plays the lute, Joel Frederiksen is a leading interpreter of music by the English lutenist songwriters and of early Italian Baroque music. His wide-ranging basso profundo voice and his expressive performances have earned him worldwide acclaim. The Elfin Knight, his first CD for harmonia mundi with his Ensemble Phoenix Munich, was released in August 2007. “Frederiksen has compiled a fascinating compendium of “America’s early music”. We hear works that sound like Victorian parlour songs; tunes from the old country’s folk styles; pieces that recall the West Gallery traditions of English country churches. Yet a more confident American identity emerges, trading on a certain directness of manner.” Sunday Times, 22nd May 2011 *** “Frederiksen and his musicians are as imaginative as they are respectful and zealous...and this CD is a viable recital, not just a catalogue...Is 'Rose of Sharon' of potential interest to non-Americans? Definitely. As already mentioned, it has been assembled with the average listener in mind, not academics. Furthermore, the performances are consistently gracious and winning.” International Record Review | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Renée Fleming - Haunted Heart
In her liner notes to the recording, Fleming writes,
'This is a project I have long dreamt of realizing. It is not only an exploration of some of the music that has always inspired me, but a personal journey back on a road not taken. With this record I want to share my love for a group of highly emotional and beautiful songs, irrespective of the labels of jazz, pop, or classical, while introducing you to my 'other voice' and a style of singing to which I thought I would be dedicating my career, until circumstance put me decidedly in the classical arena. These songs have haunted my heart over the years, and my hope is that they will touch yours.'' | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
