Hagen's Humble eloquence
09/25/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Baritone John Koch makes a strong case for Daron Hagen's elegant settings of a variety of poets, as well as two of the composer's own translations of Verlaine and Baudelaire. What is particularly striking about Hagen's piece is that it conceals its craftsmanship so well: never does the voice have to fight to be heard over the large assemblage of winds, brass, and percussion. And the seeming casual effortlessness of his text setting is already well-known to singers. The best thing about both the Maslanka and the Hagen is the true songfulness of the melodies. Hagen, especially, writes some of the loveliest art songs in print -- and there are so many of them!"
