Rich textures and soaring melodies from Strauss and Mahler, sung by Anita Watson, one of Australia’s hottest operatic exports, with a glittering European career. More besides, from Bolcom, Haas and Rorem. David Wickham accompanies. “The best singing comes from Anita Watson’s Anna – a sincere and refined performance.” – Andrew Clark, The Financial Times/Opera Magazine “​Anita Watson, whose soprano voice possesses an overwhelming beautiful, shimmering timbre which is technically as well as musically capable of anything.” – Klaus Kalchschmid, Suddeutsche Zeitung
