Info for Come Away, Death

Mezzo-soprano Marianne Beate Kielland and pianist Sergej Osadchuk pair up to bring us the multi-channel recording of compositional works surround the theme of death. Includes music by Korngold, Plagge, Sibelius, Ratkje, Finzi and Mussorgsky.

Death is almost as natural an ingredient in our lives as love, but whereas love is something bright and beautiful, life-giving, death is dark and irreversible. A beautifully crafted album, centred around Shakespeare’s poem Come, Away, Death, taken from Twelfth Night. The sublime performance of Marianne Beate Kielland, takes the listener on a journey through this dark subject but brings them through it, enlightened and glad to be alive!

“Kielland sings with plaintive, strongly appealing tone throughout this album. She is equally at home in Mussorgsky and Ratkje. Her voice perfectly adopts Death's terrifying charm...As the dedicatee of HVIL, she has the measure of its spectral whisperings...Osadchuk is at all times a sympathetic partner and an expressive equal in the Ratkje.” (Classic FM Magazine)
