Alexander Goehr (1948)
ARIANNA
Arianna, Monteverdi's lost opera is "composed again" by Alexander Goehr; ranging from direct quotation of the 1608 original, to Goehr's Stravinsky-like reinterpretation, this remarkable score features some of Britain's best young singers.
This beautifully detailed recording on the pioneering NMC label provides a chance to explore further this exquisite score. Ruby Philogene singing the title role heads a deft and committed cast and ensemble.
