Many of the great singers of the past performed repertoire that paired their voices with that of an obligato string instrument. Enrico Caruso collaborated with Mischa Elman, Marian Anderson with William Primrose, and even Bing Crosby with Jascha Heifetz! The viola is often referred to as the instrument which most closely resembles the human voice, and it has frequently been typecast as the ultimate elegiac instrument! The program, featuring Rachel Copeland (soprano), Tim Deighton (viola), and Ann Deighton (piano), explores a huge range of emotions, from darkness, sadness and death, to love and hope. Some of the most deeply intimate songs ever composed by late Romantic Franco-German composers will be presented, including transcriptions of songs by Massenet and Strauss, and original settings by Loeffler and Brahms.
