Christopher A. Leach (Tenor) // Although vanished from the history books, Mary Howe was an important voice in American music in the 1st half of the 20th century, as an activist and organiser, as a concert pianist and, especially, as a composer. This pioneering album of her songs shows her late-Romantic style open to influences from Debussy, Mahler, Richard Strauss and other contemporaries: she was, she said, 'alert for new sensations, like a Puritan on a holiday'.
