Elegantly crafted, there's more than a hint of Mahler and even the young Britten in these eight songs, both in the string writing and the word-painting, though Harbison, like his mentors, understands how the chamber ensemble can add a psychological resonance to the soloist's part. These are dark songs of unrequited love and Harbison generally responds with dark musical thoughts, though there's a delicious lilting Latinn rhythm in 'La rana.'
