Barbara Hannigan/Ludwig Orchestra: La Passione

The starting point for this recording is a work by Gérard Grisey (1946-98) that is particularly close to Barbara Hannigan's heart. Luigi Nono (1924-90) was a politically engaged composer. His stunning monody 'Djamila Boupacha', a heart-rending cry for solo soprano, pays tribute to a freedom fighter tortured by French paratroopers during the Algerian war. Picasso also portrayed her in charcoal. Once again Barbara Hannigan both sings and directs this pair of twentieth-century works with her friends of the Ludwig Orchestra. She has chosen to couple them with a Classical symphony by the master of the genre, Joseph Haydn.
