New Song Cycle Inquiring the Limits of Sexual Freedom
Composer and Pianist Brad Mehldau makes his Pentatone debut with The Folly of Desire. The album inquires about the limits of sexual freedom in a post-#MeToo political age. It features Tenor Ian Bostridge, one of the greatest song interpreters of our times. The album is exclusively available in Stereo DSD from Native DSD Music.
Setting poetry by Blake, Yeats, Shakespeare, Brecht, Goethe, Auden and Cummings, Mehldau’s music shifts seamlessly between a Jazz idiom and Classical art song, and the work explores a theme as timeless as it is topical. The stylistic diversity of this project is underlined by adding a selection of Jazz standards including Cole Porter’s Night And Day and Every Time We Say Goodbye and David Mann’s In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning.
