8 images Created 7 Mar 2010
Tenor Keith Lewis and pianist Michael Houstoun present this recital which spans over 300 years of song. Recognised early in his career as a Mozart specialist, Lewis's performances are noted for their beauty of voice and interpretative skills. Partnered by the impeccable artistry of Michael Houstoun, this recital promises an evening of beautiful insights.
With the sweet Baroque of Purcell, the subtle, direct songs of Britten and the quirkiness of Barber, this programme spans a range of emotional and musical colour. At the heart of the recital is the world premiere of Jenny McLeod's Peaks of Cloud, which sets seven poems by Janet Frame and brings together four iconic New Zealand artists.
