Claire Barnett-Jones - Mezzo Soprano

Rebecca Cohen - Pianist

While Vienna’s male-dominated society effectively ended Alma Schindler’s composing career following her marriage to Gustav Mahler, she remained close to the circle of composers associated with her husband. Claire Barnett-Jones, winner of the Dame Joan Sutherland Audience Prize at the 2021 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, offers a programme complete with songs by Zemlinsky’s pupil Johanna Müller-Hermann, who became professor of composition at the Neues Konservatorium in Vienna in 1918.
