Knoxville - Summer of 1915 sung by Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha

Samuel Barber's Knoxville - Summer of 1915 from South African soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha and Ginastera's Pameana from cellist Santiago Ca帽贸n-Valencia.

Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha sings Samuel Barber's Knoxville - Summer of 1915, which paints a loving portrait of the American South.
The popular South African soprano, a current member of Radio 3's prestigious young artist programme, made this recording of Barber's haunting setting at her first session at the 麻豆社. And that's preceded by Ginastera's cello rhapsody, Pampeana, an evocation of Argentina's great plains, the songs of the gauchos and the buzzing metropolis that is Buenos Aries.

Introduced by Hannah French.
