Mythologies II is the seventh studio album by French-American composer and pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Classical Compendium in 2024.[1][2] The album is a follow-up to Mythologies, which won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album in 2022.[2]

History

Mythologies II features sopranos Sangeeta Kaur and Hila Plitmann, tenor Omar Najmi, pianist Robert Thies, and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Michael Shapiro.[3] Vlasse's songs are written about classic Greek myths with a perspective on fundamental truths about the human condition and societal values.[4] Vlasse composed the music and lyrics, with the exception of "DREAMS OF ITHACA" (lyrics written by David R. Brunt.) Recorded at Abbey Road Studios with additional recordings in Los Angeles, New York City, Austin, and Buenos Aires, the record was released on Studio Hill Records in the US on July 19, 2024.[5]
