Free Music Notes for Menotti: Amahl and the Night Visitors
Free Music Review: Mother, Mother, Mother Come With Me...
Hit: 4 Stars
It's as good as I remember from my own childhood, and I was AMAZED when my 5 year old son DEMANDED to hear it over and over on our recent trip to Minnesota. Now, weeks after we've packed away our Christmas CD's, my son STILL sings out from the other room "Mother! Mother! Mother come with me, I want to be sure that you see what I see!" whenever he wants to show me something. I'm glad that such a wonderful piece of our culture has been woven into the consciousness of yet another generation.Free Music Review: A good original recording
Hit: 4 Stars
As far as an original performance of an opera, this is quite a good one. The age shows though. But if you are like me, you enjoy the sound of older recordings. Especially if you are studying this role, it is usually best to listen to whom the part was written for.Free Music Review: The Night Visitors
Hit: 4 Stars
This is one of the best short operas I ever heard. Is fitting for the
Christmas season.
Free Music Review: A different sound of Amahl
Hit: 2 Stars
Although this album was brilliant, I am used to an Amalh album that I have had in my possession for many years. This album that was conducted by Herbert Grossman was amazing. It was done in Dec. 1963 by the NBC Opera Company. Please let me know if anyone else has heard this particular album. I have been trying desperatly to find another, and havent had any luck. The mother was Martha King and Amahl was Yaghjian. j_silvestri70@yahoo.comFree Music Review: Old mono sound no longer pleases
Hit: 1 Stars
This used to be the only choice of recording for this enchanting children's masterpiece and I enjoyed listening to it for years. However, this old mono recording has been surpassed by a much superior new recording made by the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in a production directed by the composer himself, Gian Carlo Menotti. If you want the best recording of Amahl, get the other one. This is old recording is good, but the newer recording is much better.
