Forbidden Fruit

Opis

Forbidden FruitOpis:ReviewWhat a strange selection this is – a sequence of songs concerned with temptation and its consequences. Forbidden Fruit is chronologically all over the place, which keeps you on your toes and points to the tussel between base desires and romantic ideals. The German baritone Benjamin Appl navigates between Schubert, Weill, Debussy, Hahn, Fanny Mendelssohn and more with ease, while the pianist James Baillieu has a crystal clear and light of touch. The album opens with I Will Give My Love an Apple. --The Sunday TimesProduct DescriptionTemptation, prohibition, good, evil... 'how relevant are these in today's world?' asks Benjamin Appl. With the complicity of pianist James Baillieu, we are taken on a musical arc from simple folk songs through to the great song composers such as Schubert, Schumann and Wolf, along the way visiting the Impressionists Debussy and Poulenc, exploring 'new objectivity' with Weill and Eisler and enjoying compositions by Casucci, Heggie and others. The metaphor of forbidden fruit gives Benjamin and James a wide range of possible interpretations. Whilst some of the song settings centre on sensuality, others focus on socially immoral topics such as incest or sensitive subjects such as abortion. The German baritone embodies each of these stories with a passion and dramatic sense that makes this album a kaleidoscopic and astonishing journey through time and space.
