This is an updated and completed orchestration of Harbison’s 1980 cycle of songs on poems by contemporary Italian symbolist Eugenio Montale... It’s good to have these arresting songs in their full form... Harbison’s wonderful orchestration underlines the colorful tone-painting... The writing is atmospheric and expressive, as are Montale’s texts (sung in Italian), but those texts definitely express the longings of a mail protagonist... Anyone interested in contemporary vocal repertoire should snap this up post haste.
