Charles Ives sometimes wrote songs without a human voice - he thought the singers made such a fuss that he replaced them with a solo instrument. Nevertheless, the voice will play the leading role in the pieces selected by Anna Prohaska and pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Ives' songs deal with a diverse range of themes, from childhood dreams to industrialization, from social criticism to autumn impressions. They will be juxtaposed with songs by Debussy and Stravinsky.
