CD Reviews

Choral symphony of Lord Byron's poetry

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Elinor Remick Warren is one of America's hidden musical treasures. Most of her music is quite complex and demanding; don't even try to put it on as background music because you're going to have to really listen if you want to follow what's going on. Trust me though, it's worth the effort. "Legend of Arthur" is my favorite Warren recording. The Cracow Radio and TV chorus, despite their clunky name, has done a wonderful job, and of course the text is one of the best poems in the English language. Thomas Hampson is extraordinary as King Arthur, and as always he makes it sound easy. He somehow makes it seem perfectly natural that a mortally wounded king would spend his last moments singing.
