When they have sung their songs

For a change of pace, “Trove Thursday” presents three recent vocal (but non-operatic) selections—Elina Garanca cavorting through Berio’s marvelous Folk Songs, “man of the hour” Jonas Kaufmann singing a chamber version of Mahler’s haunting Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, and the little-known Finnish soprano Anu Komsi delving into Sibelius’s thrillingly mysterious Luonnotar.

This week’s trio, last week’s Lucio Silla from Harnoncourt and Gruberova, along with all previous “Trove Thursday” offerings are available for download from iTunes or via any RSS reader.
