Gallery 345 | The Wild Swans: CD Release — Yolanda Bruno and Isabelle David

The music on this recording draws inspiration from all kinds of stories — novels, fairytales, Irish folklore, even spiritual texts. The album’s title — The Wild Swans — is taken from a fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1838. The wonderful Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin used the Andersen story as the basis for her ballet The Wild Swans. The “Eliza Aria” comes from that enchanting work.
