Meyers / London Symphony Orchestra / Lockhart Serenade: The Love Album CD

Anne Akiko Meyers Serenade: The Love Album is an exploration of love in all it's dimensions, featuring Leonard Bernstein s Serenade and ten world premieres from seven living composer-arrangers. The Serenade is based on a reading of Plato s Symposium, in which seven ancient Greek philosophers debate their thoughts about love at a raucous dinner party. Meyers thought it fitting to pair Serenade with newly commissioned love-inspired music from seven living arrangers.
