Whoa! Just finished listening to William Alwyn's "Miss Julie" and I need to go do something else for a while. For those who don't know this piece, its a 2-act opera with just 4 performers, based on a play about class/love/lust, and the tragic intersection of the these for a young woman. Powerful performances by the cast (Jill Gomez as Miss Julie) and very direct sparse music by Alwyn. The excellent engineering by Kenneth Wilkinson brings all the musical drama forcefully into the room. Lyrita SRCS 121/2.

Sheesh... Last night it was Martinu's "The Epic of Gilgamesh" (Supraphon 112 1808) and all of the drama of that work. I think I'm gonna switch to Suppe.
