Nicole Cabell and Alyson Cambridge, acclaimed sopranos and close friends, record together for the first time on an album of opera duets by Mozart, Offenbach, Humperdinck, and Delibes and specially commissioned duet arrangements of classical songs, folk tunes, and African-American spirituals. Cabell, 2005 winner of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, is "a faultlessly gleaming soprano" (Financial Times). Cambridge is "radiant, vocally assured... and artistically imaginative" (Washington Post), known for her "revelatory, sensual, smoky readings" (Opera News). Joining them in the "Soave sia il vento" trio from Mozart's Così fan tutte is the "mellow-voiced and charismatic" (New York Times) baritone Will Liverman. They're accompanied on their Cedille debut by the Lake Forest Symphony under 2015 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award winner Vladimir Kulenovic. Inspired by opera stars Kathleen Battle & Jessye Norman's spirituals recording from the early 1990s, the sopranos describe their album as a "dream project" that's "uniquely us," reflecting their multi-ethnic heritages and showcasing songs that profoundly influenced them both. Composer-arranger Joe Clark, whose music has been performed by Renee Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, and jazz singer Kurt Elling, among other classical, jazz, and pop artists, created arrangements expressly for Cabell and Cambridge's distinctive voices.
