Tell-Tale Heart

Composer-Pianist Gregg Kallor unveiled his setting of Edgar Allan Poe's terrifying short story The Tell-Tale Heart in a 100-year-old vaulted crypt beneath the Church of the Intercession in New York City in October 2016. In celebration of the 175th anniversary of the publication of the short story, this album will be released just in time for Halloween 2018. The Tell-Tale Heart is the premiere recording of American composer Gregg Kallor's acclaimed adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's chilling short story, performed by the composer with soprano Melody Moore and cellist Joshua Roman, recorded by Grammy-winning producer Adam Abeshouse. A celebration of music and literature, the album also features the first recording of Kallor's eleven new song-settings of poems by Sara Teasdale, Elinor Wylie, Stephen Crane, Mark Twain, William Butler Yeats, as well as the young phenomenon Clementine Von Radics. Kallor's previous song album Exhilaration- Dickinson and Yeats Songs, features his settings of poems by Emily Dickinson, William Butler Yeats, and Christina Rossetti sung by mezzo-soprano Adriana Zabala. Kallor is the inaugural composer in residence at SubCulture in New York City.
