Recording & Production
Howard Arman, the artistic director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, created magnificent arrangements and transcriptions for the choral works on this album, including Rossini's La nuit de Noël.
Composer's Artistic Vision
A common thread uniting all the pieces on this album is the way they view the world through the eyes of a child, whether through their touching innocence or sophisticated harmonies.
Interpretation
The piano accompaniments by Gerold Huber on this album are designed to miraculously recreate the complex orchestrations of composers like Richard Strauss.
Recording & Production
The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the cancellation of an engagement at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, provided the soprano Christiane Karg with the unexpected opportunity to complete this album.
Performer Biography
Christiane Karg, the soprano on this album, has a particular attachment to German art song (Kunstlied) and French mélodie.
