Songs of the Seafarer – Navona Records
SONGS OF THE SEAFARER presents music of Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Mahler in newly written chamber orchestrations. Conceived as an inner journey through encounters with water and the sea, this arranged cycle places Schubert’s “Trout” next to Mahler’s maritime menagerie, the desolation of “Am Meer” beside Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, and moves from despair toward transcendence via Mendelssohn’s oceanic overture. Inspired by Arnold Schoenberg’s Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen concerts, the Seafarer’s song wanders between earthly and heavenly desire, always returning to the sea as a mirror for the vastness of human existence.
