| |  | Janacek: The Makropulos CaseSung in English (translation by Norman Tucker)
Cheryl Barker (Emilia Marty - 'E.M.'), Robert Brubaker (Albert Gregor), John Graham-Hall (Vítek), Elena Xanthoudakis (Kristina), John Wegner (Baron Jaroslav Prus), Thomas Walker (Janek Prus), Neal Davies (Dr Kolenaty), Graeme Danby (Stage Hand), Graham Clark (Count Hauk-Šendorf) English National Opera Chorus & English National Opera Orchestra, Sir Charles Mackerras Live recording from the Coliseum "Sir Charles Mackerras conducts with the energy of a man possessed, confirming his status as the world’s preeminent Janácek interpreter and producing a blistering performance from the ENO orchestra… It’s the humanity
of Janácek’s music that finally triumphs in this magnificent, insightful production." The Guardian (review from the performance) “Mackerras's reading, recorded in live performance, is slightly more expansive than his benchmark Vienna version… but the passionately lyrical urgency and sense of mystery drive it along just as compellingly. Cheryl Barker has the right kind of imperious soprano for Emilia Marty... This doesn't outclass Mackerras's Viennese set... But this is more vivid and dramatic, and its immediacy also offers English-speaking listeners easier access to this strange but rewarding masterpiece.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2007 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
