featured artist on album z

Lana Bode appears alongside tenor Alessandro Fisher and an array of featured artists on composer Zoë Martlew's debut Album Z (NMC Records). Described as “the great and good of the UK music scene today” (Classical Explorer), Album Z features tracks performed by Ben Goldscheider (horn), Lucy Schaufer (mezzo), Huw Watkins (piano), Mark Simpson (clarinet), Alessandro Fisher (tenor), Lana Bode (piano) and Nicholas Daniel (oboe).

Fisher and Bode joined forces in 2022 to perform the world premiere of Zoë Martlew's In the Park as part of Hannah Sandison’s ‘Green Spaces’ project at Opera Holland Park. The single ‘In the Kyoto Garden’ was released last month to critical acclaim.

In a Classical Explorer preview, critic Colin Clarke wrote: ‘The singer here is the miraculous Alessandro Fisher, whose purity of tone is perfect for the opening words, "Still pool." against piano droplets from the ever-musical Lana Bode (one of the finest collaborative pianists around today).’

The track was also selected to feature in Apple Music’s ‘New in Classical’ playlist.
