Sarah Defrise – For Cathy, A Capella Album, A Tribute to Cathy Berberian (Sub Rosa, CD/digital)

The Brussels label Sub Rosa pays tribute in one fell swoop to two of the most extraordinary voices of the past decades. »Two Men in a Boat« documents Rhys Chatham's meeting with late vocal iconoclast Ghédalia Tazartès, and with »For Cathy, A Capella Album, A Tribute to Cathy Berberian« the Belgian soprano delivers exactly what it says on the cover: haunting, virtuoso tributes to one of the greatest in her field. Besides »Stripsody« and other canonical works, Defrise interpretes a wide repertoire, which makes this album all the more a real treasure trove.
