In the distances of sleep

On Elliott Carter (1908-2012). Seen and Heard International, November 16, 2012

Carter wrote one of his most luminous song cycles, In the Distances of Sleep (2006) when he was 98 years old. I last heard it in 2009, with Kate Lindsey (mezzo-soprano) and the MET Chamber Ensemble led by James Levine, on this endearingly odd program.
