Synopsis
Album Description
Composed by Elliott Sharp, libretto by Lauri Bortz. Featuring Devorah Day, Eric Mingus, Ben Miller, Joan Wasser and The Yellin String Quartet. CD with eight-page booklet and folded insert. A Modicum of Passion is a woeful tale of depraved indifference. In this microcosm, empathy is shattered by surrealistic time/space, and love fails to conquer much, if anything at all. The story unfolds in classic operatic format as Elliott Sharp's expressionism takes eerily beautiful twists and turns. This is Sharp at his most lyrical and gothic: the hummable melodies will no doubt surprise his ardent followers. But, loveliness aside, Lauri Bortz's darkly absurdist libretto has found its perfect musical match.
