Claire Lester and David Lester

Description:

A collection of modern and contemporary songs sung by soprano Claire Lesser, who specializes in contemporary songs. Together with her husband David, a pianist, they sing works by Holliger, Rihm, and Finnissy, whom they say have inspired them, as well as one of David's own songs. The atonal, twelve-tone songs, sung with understated vibrato, precise pitch, and superb technique, are like "the songs of nature's birds that have no regard for tonality," and stimulate the listener's heart directly. Naxos Japan
