Limelight described Stagg and de Villiers’ recent album VOICES: Songs of Richard Hageman as “sensitive, detailed music-making that should win both soprano and composer new fans” and in this program the pair present Hageman’s songs alongside two composers who inspired him, German composer Richard Strauss and French composer Henri Duparc. Hear the echoes of inspiration resound in the Utzon Room as the music of these composers is placed side by side.
