Still Longing

STILL LONGING is a unique program of Romantic vocal chamber music conceived by Peter Kendall Clark (aka “The Brownstone Baritone”). Together with cellist Tyler Michael James and pianist Markus Kaitila, they engage with timeless themes of loss and longing in songs by Brahms, Bernstein, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Viardot and more. “Tyler and I met last season in Opera Middlebury’s production of Tom Cipullo’s Glory Denied. He played the big cello solo with such heart-breaking intensity that I decided to figure out a way to make more music with him. Brahms’ Gestillte Sehnsucht (Stilled Longing, literally) immediately came to mind, then the great Bernstein love song from Songfest, and now we have an ever-expanding repertoire that features our special duet vibe.” The concert and forthcoming album on the Monday Music Label features some of the most tender and moving melodies in the repertoire. “There is so distress in the world right now,” Clark adds, “we want to bring hope and comfort to our listeners.”
