Description: This is likely to be your first Slovenian art-song collection, isn't it? In the far southeastern corner of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Slovenia was slow to receive musical news from the center of the empire, Vienna and, well into the late 19th century, the small number of Slovenian composers were still trying to assimilate 18th and 19th century European song styles into their own personal voices. Needless to say, everything here is plainly tonal and a glance at the titles will show a propensity for setting poetry about nature. A few folk-influenced pieces are also on offer while the Argentinian-Slovene Gerzinic provides the most recent compositions, three of which are associated with the pain and longing of the exile. Slovenian-English texts. Bernarda Fink (mezzo), Marcos Fink (bass-baritone), Anthony Spiri (piano).
