Bizet / Claycomb, Laura / Teicholz, Marc - Open Your Heart

This is the Delos debut from American coloratura soprano Laura Claycomb, best known for her work in opera, Open Your Heart and here exploring a more intimate interpretive approach featuring an assortment of art songs accompanied by guitar maestro Marc Teicholz. The duo traverses through compositions that range wonderfully from the famously pro-union lyricist-composer Marc Blitzstein, to William Walton through treatments of French texts by Georges Bizet, Claude Debussy to Spanish and Portuguese settings by Manuel de Falla and Heitor Villa-Lobos and more.
