For her fourth recital on Alpha Classics, mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey has chosen to record two cycles, Schumann’s well-known Frauenliebe und Leben and Fauré’s La Chanson d’Ève, a much more unfamiliar work.
What the two cycles have in common is that a woman is their protagonist: “both works deal with innocence, discovery, joy, sorrow and ultimately a deeper understanding of life that only experience can offer”, says Kate Lindsey, who has named this new album Samsara, a Sanskrit word that evokes the cycle of life, from birth to death.
Pianist Éric Le Sage, a great specialist in the music of Fauré and Schumann, is the ideal partner for this introspective journey, which also features extracts from Schumann’s sublime Myrthen as well as Fauré’s famed Clair de lune and Chanson d’amour.
