Tippett - selections from 'The Midsummer Marriage'

I have posted this before but just recently I bought the complete opera on the Lyrita label(2CD). I have loved and always will love this opera. Last time I owned this work and recording was some 35 years ago when it was available in vinyl on the Phillips label. Originally recorded by Lyrita in July 1970, it was licensed to Phillips for marketing purposes. At the time, Lyrita made the best recordings of any company on the planet but the company was not well known at all. Even by today's standards, Lyrita's recordings are still hard to beat. Please go out and purchase this wonderful opera.....it's rewards are bountiful!

Tippett: "Steal Away" from 'A Child of our Time'

Glorious music from a glorious work. What more can be said!

Sir Michael Tippett

Tippett's second symphony.....a favorite

Of all Tippett's symphonies, this is and always has remained my favorite. In fact it is, in my opinion, one of the best the English have ever produced. It dates from about the same time he wrote "The Midsummer Marriage".

Discover and Enjoy!

Looking forward to "Mid-Summer"

This is one opera I absolutely love! I have never delved into English opera as much I really should have as there are many jewels that the English have left for us. Vaughan Williams, Delius, Britten and many more have written operas that should be heard and performed more often. Sir Michael Tippett left us with this masterpiece and it remains to this day as one of my top favorite operas of all time!
