Info for Nacht Und Träume: Franz Schubert Lieder

This selection of songs could carry the subtitle ‘Women in Love’. ‘L’Education sentimentale’, perhaps. Ailish Tynan and Iain Burnside have assembled a portrait gallery: a whole bevy of Schubert’s women pursuing different sorts of love, nurturing different Biedermeier dreams.

Goethe’s Gretchen finds an intriguing counterpart in Schiller’s Amalia. Ellen gazes out over Loch Katrine, while Serafina looks down affectionately at her fortepiano. A young nun welcomes her destiny as the bride of Christ. This, the first volume in Burnside’s carefully crafted voyage of Schubert song, sees Ailish at the height of her powers, in music that has been her ‘life’s dream’ to record.

"She has the kind of voice one associates with Despina in Cosi fan tutte...It goes without saying that Iain Burnside's accompaniments are ideal, detailed in the modern manner but never obtruding, and in all respects the disc shows two dedicated artists who have given a lot of thought to every aspect of these marvellous pieces. Where I have doubts is in that edge which Tynan's voice sometimes takes on" (BBC Music Magazine)

Ailish Tynan, soprano
Iain Burnside, piano

Ailish Tynan
The Irish soprano Ailish Tynan trained at Trinity College Dublin, the Royal Irish Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. She won the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Rosenblatt Recital Prize in 2003, was a Young Artist for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden from 2002 to 2004 and is a BBC New Generation Artist.

She has performed in many of the world’s leading opera houses including the Royal Opera House, Royal Swedish Opera, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Seattle Opera, Teatro alla Scala and Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse. Roles include Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), title roles in The Cunning Little Vixen and Hänsel und Gretel, Héro (Béatrice et Bénédict), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Atalanta (Xerxes) and Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro).

Ailish is a prolific concert and recording artist and works frequently with British and international orchestras. Career highlights to date include performances of Mahler’s Eighth Symphony with the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under Sir Antonio Pappano, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and Paavo Järvi, the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Valery Gergiev, the Philharmonia Orchestra directed by Lorin Maazel, and Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Hallé and Sir Mark Elder. A regular at the BBC Proms, her performances have included Glière’s Concerto for coloratura soprano, Bella in Tippett’s The Midsummer Marriage and Chabrier’s Ode à la musique in a First Night appearance.

On the recital platform Ailish is noted for the breadth of her repertory, and is an exponent of French song. She appears regularly at the Wigmore Hall and at music festivals with pianists including Iain Burnside, Graham Johnson, András Schiff and James Baillieu. Recordings include An Irish Songbook & A Purse of Gold (Signum Classics) and From a City Window (Delphian).

Iain Burnside
Interweaving roles as pianist and Sony Award-winning radio presenter with equal aplomb, Iain Burnside (‘pretty much ideal’, BBC Music Magazine) is also a master programmer with an instinct for the telling juxtaposition. His recordings straddle an exuberantly eclectic repertoire ranging from Schoenberg and Copland to Debussy and Judith Weir, with a special place reserved for the highways and byways of English Song – as acclaimed recordings of Britten, Finzi, Ireland, Butterworth, Parry and Vaughan Williams have all proved. In 2014 Delphian will release Burnside’s complete Rachmaninov songs with seven outstanding Russian artists. He also enjoys a close association with Rosenblatt Recitals, both on stage and in the studio.

For Guildhall School of Music and Drama Burnside has written and devised a number of highly individual theatre pieces. Lads in their Hundreds, an exploration of war songs, played in London and at the Ludlow Weekend of English Song. A Soldier and a Maker, based on the life of Ivor Gurney, was premiered at the Barbican Centre, transferring to the Cheltenham Festival. Journeying Boys, developed in association with the Royal College of Music, will be performed in November 2013 in the Milton Court Theatre.

In demand as teacher and animateur, Burnside also works at the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme at the Royal Opera House, the National Opera Studio and the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
