Philip Gelling, Maldwyn Davies, Janet Baker, John Shirley-Quirk, Matthew Best, Robert Tear, John Shirley-Quirk, Philip Gelling, Elaine Mary Hall, Janice Hooper-Roe, Mark Curtis & Maurits Sillem (Harpsichord Continuo) The Royal Opera Chorus & The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Sir Charles Mackerras Recorded on 12 December 1981 (stereo) “Janet Baker's fans will be thrilled by this release from the Royal Opera's in-house label of a work she never recorded commercially. Dating from 1981, as part of her planned retirement in her prime, this last great role she mastered yields her customary blend of lustrous tone and vivid characterisation, at the head of a distinguished cast.” The Observer, 4th May 2008 “Baker is, as always, dignified, grand, commanding, and expert at communicating a grief which you know she will overcome.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 **** “Make no mistake… this recording should be in every opera lover's collection.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
