Sara Stowe - Ogloudoglou - Vocal Masterpieces of the Experimental Generation

The 1960s were a period of revolution in classical vocal composition, a time of re-inventing and re-creating the classical voice�s sound world that inspired the generation of composers featured on this album. Spear-headed by such imaginative singers as Cathy Berberian and Michiko Hirayama, and inspired by the simultaneous developments in Early Music, technology and an awareness of world music singing styles, the long-established Bel canto singing tradition was extended in new, imaginative and extraordinarily virtuosic ways.
