In A Book of Earth and Enchantment, the voice is treated as a special component of the instrumental parts: the word being regarded as the highest possibility of existence for a sound, one which directly contemplates an inner reality, a human effort to become its vehicle. The essential lies not in the meaning of the words, but in the mysterious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance. (Simone Movio) Livia Rado and the mdi ensemble with conductor Beat Furrer deliver a captivating performance of this fascinating song cycle.
