Boughton - The Immortal Hour

Search: Moonlight Opera
from: Hyperion

Release Date September 10, 1992
I had never heard of this composer until very recently whilst reading a biogrpahy of Ralph Vaughan Williams, whom Boughton appears to have known well (or at least well enough to have had several arguments about politics with). Reading that like RVW, Boughton was heavily influenced by folk music, I took a chance and got a copy. I can now say it was well worth - a beautiful opera, beautifully played and sung. That's all there is to it.

Release Date April 09, 2001
There have been many productions of Grimes around the world and a good few recordings made since this first one was committed to disc nearly half a century ago. From our perspective in the 21st Century it is hard to recall the huge impact made by the first production at Sadlers' Wells in 1946 and by this recording just a decade or so later. It's now easier to see the antecedents and ancestors of the piece - Verdi, Mahler, even Mozart. At the time it seemed a really revolutionary piece, not only for British but also for worldwide opera.

The recording, too, was something new. This was the first time that John Culshaw and his Decca team had fully implemented their ideas for making a real production out of a stereo opera recording. ... Read More:
