Free Music Review: Very nicely done............
Hit: 4 Stars
Like El Nino, The Death of Klinghoffer is far closer to a dramatic oratorio than to an opera. Kent Nagano conducts Lyon Opera forces with the original singers who directly inspired the composer. The story is based on the age-old conflict between Palestinians and Jews. The closing scene brings the bitter concluding lament of Klinghoffer's wife, Marilyn. The mezzo Sheila Nadler rises to the challenge superbly, and the baritone Sanford Sylvan is comparably sensitive as Kinghoffer himself, well matched by James Maddalena as the Captain, an Evangelist-like commentator, and by Thomas Hammons and Janice Felty in multiple roles. The recorded sound is excellent, but the booklet reproduces an unrevised version of the libretto.
John Adams - The Death of Klinghoffer / Nagano, The Orchestra of the Opera de Lyon Poster
In The Death of Klinghoffer (1991), John Adams turns his cascading minimalism to the tragedy of the Achille Lauro. This spacious recording makes grand what seems so minor in the great scheme of things: a group of terrorists hijack an ocean liner and kill a wheelchair-bound Jewish retiree, Leon Klinghoffer. If the conceit of Adams' earlier opera, Nixon in China, seems a bit incredulous (Richard Nixon as opera subject?), The Death of Klinghoffer is genuine tragedy--Greek chorus and all. Alice Goodman is the librettist. This is one of the 20th century's best operas. A must. --Paul CookClassical Music CDs
