Title: A lovely work
Review: Being from a more recent generation, I first read about"Amahl and the Night Visitors" in an old book musicbook by David Ewen, back in 1991, and it was notuntil 2008, just last weekend that I got my hands ona recording of this most magnificent opera. I came acrossthis particular recording by chance, as I was lookingat a most recent recording, by another label. I saw thisrecording of the original telecast as staged by the composer,and I realize that this recording was closer to the ideaof the composer than any other available. Yes, the sound isnot too great, but that does not matters when the factthat this is as the composer heard it and staged it, comes tomind. Thou here the orchestra and chorus are unknown, theyare conducted by Thomas Shippers, a great young conductor atthe time. I really do recommend this particular recording toany other.
Is the review positive or negative?
