Barbara Hannigan soprano, director
Barbara Hannigan is an artist who combines thrilling passion with exceptional technique and is blessed with a voice at once pure and hot. Love, loss and longing abound in these pieces infused with rich harmonies and sensuous orchestral textures. The programme culminates with Schoenberg's iconic Second String Quartet which marked the beginning of his musical journey towards the beckoning intrigues of dissonance.
