In A Book of Earth and Enchantment, “the voice is treated as a special component of the instrumental parts: the word being re-garded as the highest possibility of exist-ence for a sound, one which directly con-templates an inner reality, a human effort to become its vehicle. The essential lies not in the meaning of the words, but in the mysterious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance.” (Simone Movio) Livia Rado and the mdi ensemble with conductor Beat Furrer de-liver a captivating performance of this fas-cinating song cycle.
