This week audiences will get to hear the second album by one of the rising tenors in the opera world as well as world premiere recordings and a DVD recording of a Wagner work.

The Paper Lined Shack

Supertrain Records is set to release Jeff Beal’s titular song cycle performed by the brilliant soprano Hilá Plitmann and Eastman Philharmonia and conducted by Leonard Slatkin. The text derived from Beal’s own great-grandmother’s memoirs about life as a widowed mother of six in Idaho at the turn of the 21st century. The album also contains “Things Unseen,” a piece that explores mysticism and superstition, performed by the New Hollywood String Quartet.

Songs by Warlock and Howe

Mezzo-soprano Anna Harvey and pianist Mark Austin release a new album for Rubicon Classics. The recording showcases the greatest songs of Peter Warlock and original works by living composer Frederick Howe. The album marks Harvey and Austin’s debut recital disc release.

The new recording will feature two previously unrecorded works by Warlock, chosen in consultation with the Warlock Society of Great Britain and 21 of Warlock’s songs are complemented on the new release by nine world premiere recordings of English folk song arrangements by Frederick Howe, recorded in celebration of the composer’s recent 70th birthday milestone.
