Ned Rorem’s vocal music stands at the center of American art song, blending clarity of text setting with emotional directness and refined musical craftsmanship. This Phoenix USA release brings together three major cycles: War Scenes, a stark and deeply personal response to wartime texts; Five Songs, showcasing Rorem’s lyrical gift; and Four Dialogues, written for two voices and two pianos, exploring intimate emotional exchanges with dramatic immediacy. Featuring Donald Gramm, John Stewart, Anita Darian, Eugene Istomin, and Richard Cumming, PHCD 116 offers authoritative performances of some of Rorem’s most compelling vocal works. www.phoenixcd.com
