Recording on Orchid Classics of Julian Marshall's astonishing setting (in an English translation) of the poetry of Gertrud Kolmar for Tenor, cello sextet and three-part chorus. This wonderful work is OUT NOW.
Clicking on the image will take you to Orchid's webpage. This is a work in five short movements, where we experience flight from the city into the forest to meet a presence whom we cannot comprehend. We seek and offer refuge. Kolmar was a German Jewish poet writing in the 1930s. MINDSONG is a charity in Gloucestershire that brings Music therapy to people suffering with dementia. It began as a small project, which over the years has grown hugely. Until recently, it has been working in Care Homes for people often with advanced dementia, and is now branching out into working in peoples' homes. To find out more, please visit the website.
