Liverman/king - Show Me The Way [CD]

Liverman/king - Show Me The Way [CD]

Grammy Award-winning, "velvet voiced" (NPR) baritone Will Liverman presents a recital program honoring women in classical music, past and present, on Show Me The Way, his second "passion project" recording for Cedille. Praised as "nothing short of extraordinary" (Opera News), Liverman has curated a moving and poignant recital celebrating American female composers from 20th-century trailblazers Florence Price, Margaret Bonds, and Amy Cheney Beach to present-day composers commissioned for this program. This new album, Liverman's second with longtime recital partner pianist Jonathan King, is inspired by and honors the singer's mother, gospel singer Terry Liverman, and their mutual love of song. The Livermans perform together on recording for the first time in their own arrangement of Alma Bazel Androzzo's cherished hymn If I Can Help Somebody. Two new song cycles serve as pillars of the recording: Jasmine Barnes' A Sable Jubilee with a newly commissioned libretto by Tesia Kwarteng that celebrates Black Joy and Libby Larsen's three movement Machine Head: Ted Burke Poems depicting everyday American life.
