 Further bad news for my bank balance,but still amazing to people of a certain age group  who only knew this work from a BBC broadcast (very well performed) of the Prologue! I remember receiving my off-air copy on a cassette sent via the post! There are some other new releases on the Dutton website. This image is the best I can come up with at the moment!  |

Many thanks for this - it is great to see such astonishing enterprise from Dutton.  The image is absolutely fine. Beans on toast for the next six months.  |

If you scroll down the Toccata Pipeline,on their website,Brian's opera The Cenci is listed as a future release. Apparently,this is of a 1997 concert performance. This just leaves Turandot, prinzessin von China and Agamemnon.

Great news, thanks! Here is further information about the opera - http://www.havergalbrian.org/works/the-cenci.phpFor Agamemnon see http://artmusic.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,7204.msg36619.html#msg36619 |

Been working my way through it...sorry to say, even as a Brian fan, I'm finding it pretty tough listening so far...whatever his other many virtues I don't think Brian was a natural dramatist...

I used to listen to my off-air cassette copy of the Prelude allot! A member of the HBS posted it to me! I did enjoy listening to it,at the time! That said,it's a little different to sitting through an entire opera. Is it possible it might grown on you,eventually? I love his opera,The Tigers. A much earlier work,of course. I,originally,had it on cassette. Posted in the same way,by a fellow enthusiast. The Tigers has one of the most eccentric librettos of any opera ever. I love it though;and,somehow,it all seems to work! For me,anyway! Librettos like that would ruin the career of most opera composers,however!  |
