Mythen & Rituale
Mythen und Rituale haben den britischen Komponisten Harrison Birtwistle (*1934) stets besonders fasziniert. Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstages veröffentlicht das NMC-Label die 1996 für COLLINS CLASSICS entstandene Aufnahme von Birtwistles bedeutender Oper Gawain wieder, deren Handlung auf der Arthus-Sage beruht. Die überaus erlesene Besetzung wird vom englischen Bariton John Tomlinson angeführt.
Reviews
U. Schreiber in stereoplay 9/96: »..eine der viel- schichtigsten Opern der Gegenwart eine auch fast kongeniale Darstellung. Darüber könnte man den Kopf verlieren.«Disk 1 von 2 (CD)
