Reviews

So many good sopranos, and they hire this woman, who will be a great Brunhilde, but a poor interpreter of serious music.

One of the early successes was the splendid short suite from his pantomimeballet Okon Fuoko and a primary attraction of this new issue is Arvo Volmer’s further eight-movement extract (he has recorded the work in full for Alba).
