Product Details

Description

This song cycle was written for soprano Ruby Hughes, who premiered the role of Ella in Huw Watkins’ chamber opera In the Locked Room based on a Thomas Hardy short story.

Remember takes up some of the themes of the opera, which explores the darker depths of human emotion – unhappiness, yearning, and obsession. In the four poems set here, loss and longing are realised through achingly beautiful lyricism and the delicate balance between voice and string orchestra.

Content

I Remember (Christina Rossetti)
II Shut out that Moon (Thomas Hardy)
III To ̶̶̶ (Percy Bysshe Shelly)
IV If hands could free you, heart (Philip Larkin)
