Cliff Ridley - Strings in the Earth and Air (2023)

Strings in the Earth and Air is the result of another collaboration by Baritone Cliff Ridley and Pianist Danielle Marcinek. This recording is dedicated to the outstanding art songs of British/Irish Composer E.J. Moeran (31 December 1894 – 1 December 1950). Moeran occupied a minor place in the music of his time, but his meticulously polished and ready technique is unsurpassed among his British contemporaries. This craftsmanship is evident in the clarity of his textures and processes, and in the superb sonority of his orchestral writing.
