If You Love for Beauty on CD

Showcasing Metropolitan Opera and GRAMMY Award-winning mezzo-soprano Cooke, and the Colburn Orchestra led by Gilad. The recording includes Mahler's "Ruckert-Lieder," the aria Am I in Your Light? from Doctor Atomic by John Adams, Chausson's sweeping Po+¿me de l'amour et de la mer, all with full orchestra, and two Handel arias, Scherza infida and Ombra mai fu performed with chamber orchestra. The members of the Colburn Orchestra create a distinct orchestral sound (a great one), and Maestro Gilad elicits sensitive and lyrical interpretations of the repertoire. This recording won the Audio Oasis Award even before it was released, at THE SHOW in Newport, 2012.
