Anne Akiko Meyers Serenade: The Love Album
Release Date: September 18, 2015
Label: Entertainment One
Anne Akiko Meyers’ Serenade: The Love Album is an exploration of love in all its 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.
