Performer Biography

Carole Farley, the soprano, made her Metropolitan Opera debut at age 19 in the title role of Lulu, a role she has performed over 100 times in four languages.

Historical Context

Aubert Lemeland's "Mémorial" is a symphonic piece written in memory of the nearly 4,000 Anglo-Canadian soldiers killed during 'Operation Jubilee,' a failed raid on Dieppe in August 1942.

Performer Biography

José Serebrier, the conductor, is a Grammy-winning conductor and composer, and one of the most recorded classical artists in history, with thirty-two Grammy nominations.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Aubert Lemeland's "Time Landscapes" was inspired by classical Chinese poetry, with each of its eight tableaux depicting "immediate reality captured in a thousand images."

Compositional Technique

In "Time Landscapes," Aubert Lemeland uses a 'concertant trio' of vibraphone, marimba, and harp, sustained by tam-tams and cymbals, within the orchestral commentary.

Recording & Production

This album includes recordings made in July 1995 at Görreshaus, Koblenz, Germany, and in November 1995 at Musée Dauphinois - Chapelle Sainte-Marie d'En Haut.
