Susan Graham sings Lady Macbeth
6th January 2012
Horovitz’s work is a dramatic scena based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, with the text selected by the composer to illustrate the character of Lady Macbeth and her descent into madness. Commissioned by the Bergen Festival in 1970, it has since been performed by eminent mezzos, including Sarah Walker, who has recorded it with Graham Johnson (Hyperion CDA66136), Della Jones, Felicity Palmer, Catherine Wyn-Rogers and Susan Bickley.
