This collection of Nils Vigeland's music is dramatic and elegant! 'False Love True Love' is a chamber opera in two acts based on two scenes from Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. The work has but two characters, and consists of two pivotal scenes between the protagonists: the meeting between them immediately following their unfulfilled marriage ceremony, and their first meeting after many years of separation. The musical inspirations for his Five Nocturnes are diverse: Ives, Gershwin, Chopin and the environmental sounds of last call at an Irish pub.'Two Days', written two days after September 11th, 2001, is Vigeland's musical reaction to the attack on the World Trade Center. Featured performers are Any Goldstein, soprano; Brad Carswell, baritone; the Locrian Chamber Players; and Jonathan Faiman, piano.
