Label news: Headlining Greta Thunberg’s mother

The climate activist’s aura is fading as she gets mixed up in Middle East and other conflicts beyond her ken.

But things are looking up for her Mum (pictured in 2014).

Warner give her front cover billing in a new release next month:

The newest album from Christina Pluhar and L’Arpeggiata is a hymn to nature featuring the Swedish mezzo-soprano Malena Ernman, mother of climate activist Greta Thunberg. The programme spans Baroque repertoire, traditional music and improvisations, ranging from Handel’s Serse: Crude furie degli orridi abissi to a traditional folk song: The Taylor and the Mouse. The release marks L’Arpeggiata’s 25th anniversary.

The post Label news: Headlining Greta Thunberg’s mother appeared first on Slippedisc.
