John Zorn - Songs Of Songs (Digb) [CD]

Presented in a lush CD book including dozens of Zorn's original erotic drawings printed in gold ink on distinctive art paper, this is the definitive presentation of one of Zorn's most poignant and lush creations-an all-vocal setting of the Bible's sensual poetry The Song of Solomon. Scored for five female voices plus male and female narrators, the ensemble here includes narration by classical superstar Barbara Hannigan and renown French actor/director Mathieu Amalric. Featuring a newly commissioned translation of the Hebrew text by musician/scholar/philosopher/ poet Jeremy Fogel, this unique limited edition CD book is an absolute delight.
