Dedications: Clare McCaldin’s programme considers the relationships between composer and dedicatee – whether it be love (Robert/Clara Schumann), admiration (Duparc/Fauré), dedication to a specific performer (Weir) or to the divine (Barber).

A beautiful and moving sequence of music sung by a highly expressive performer.
