New York-based soprano, Jane Sheldon joins London-based pianist, Zubin Kanga to present a recital of modern German masterpieces written a century apart. Arnold Schoenberg’s Das Buch der hängenden Gärten, Op. 15 (“The Book of the Hanging Gardens”, 1909) is one of his first atonal works, yet still full of the lyricism and grandeur of his earlier music.
