Diotima is a significant release for many reasons, two worth noting immediately: it's the fifth album dedicated to works by American composer John Harbison (b. 1938) the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) and conductor Gil Rose have issued; more pertinently, of the three works presented, one is the first he wrote for orchestra and another, created thirty-five years later, is in all probability his last. Anything but an afterthought, the third pairs Dawn Upshaw with the BMOP, not the first time the celebrated soprano has given voice to Harbison's material.
