This week we're listening for the first time on Liederabend composer Rebecca Clarke. The song, with poem by E.A. Housman, tells about the last seconds of a condemned person's life
Aquesta setmana escoltarem a Liederabend per primera vegada la compositora Rebecca Clarke. La cançó que he triat, 'Eight O'Clock', té poema d'A. E. Housman i presenta una escena molt dura: els últims segons de vida d'un condemnat a mort.
I have an old friend who argues that people never change; I always disagree with him. And yet, here I am reading Thomas Pynchon and listening to Nina Hagen just as I would 40 years ago.
This was the first Kate Bush album I owned. I was obsessed with it as I just couldn’t wrap my head around what she was doing. Still my favorite of hers.
