CD Reviews

Well performed Chamber opera

R. Rockwell | Brooklyn, NY USA | 08/06/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This chamber opera based on the book of Ruth has a dramatic libretto by Eric Crozier and a surprisingly effective score which due to limitations at the time premiered, includinng two flutes and piano. Despite the fact that all of the singers and the orchestra performed their parts superblly, I really could only recommend this to people who are interested in berkeley or chamber opera."
