Bohemian Songs

Boheminan Songs for Soprano & Piano by:
Leopold Kozeluch (1747-1818)
Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812)
Jan Josef Rössler (1771-1813)
Antonin Frantisek Becvarovsky (1754-1823)
Vincenc Masek (1755-1831)
Jan Vaclav Vorisek (1791-1825)
Franz Anton Rössler [Rosetti] (1746-1792)
Claron McFadden, Soprano
Bart van Ort, Fortpiano
A couple of notes: Track number 13 is missing from this recording. This is not an omission by me but rather a design flaw in production. I contacted Brilliant Classics and they affirmed that there was an error when the CD was recorded and track 13 was accidently ommitted. There are only 22 tracks on this CD so the track listings of 13 through 23 are consequently mislabeled. Although this a CD of Bohemian Songs, the songs are all song in either Italian or German; the Boehmian aspect is the nationality of the composers. All are in the "classical" style with the exception of Vorisek who tends toward the "Romantic." I truly love Claron McFadden's voice in this recording. She has such a pure tone and uses vibrato sparingly as an ornament.
