Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This premiere recording of Martin's Lie (1964) is an engaging church opera for boy soprano and various adults, and a pleasant diversion from Menotti's more popular Amahl. The artful orchestrations enhance the musical drama, and the singing is strong. Connor Burrowes as Martin performs with sincerity and crisp diction, and the choruses are lovely. The two song cycles--Five Songs and Canti Della Lontananza--hold their own against popular American song cycles, but Howarth and Legatte won't establish careers as recitalists based on this recording. While both are in fine voice, their interpretations are one-dimensional, rendering the listener unable to decipher the intention of the texts. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
