Stafford Dean (Trulove), Cathryn Pope (Anne), Philip Langridge (Tom Rakewell), Samuel Ramey (Nick Shadow), Astrid Varnay (Mother Goose), Sarah Walker (Baba the Turk), John Dobson (Sellem) & Matthew Best (Keeper) London Sinfonietta Chorus & London Sinfonietta, Riccardo Chailly "... the London Sinfonietta match him [Chailly] in both precision and panache. The recording gives full and appropriate prominence to the glorious sound of the Sinfonietta's woodwind section, but all departments of the ensemble are admirable...in its balance of brilliance and sensitivity, this is playing of the first class...Samuel Ramey's distinctive, attractive timbre does make an immediate and satisfying impression: he is the wily, oily demon to the life, and in the later acts he effects a transformation from suavity to menace without sacrificing any purely musical qualities en route...Cathryn Pope makes a vividly vulnerable Anne...youthfulness and lyricism are also the hallmarks of Philip Langridge's performance." Gramophone February 1985 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
