Britten: Gloriana
June, Hillman, Hammond-Stroud, Garrard, Vyvyan; Mackerras
London, 1973
$9.95
Description:
In contrast to singers like Joan Cross and Sylvia Fisher—both legendary in the title role—Ava June brings a welcome dose of glamor and physical elegance to her portrayal of Elisabeth I. Her performance combines vocal authority with an arresting stage presence that refreshes the role with new vitality.
Special kudos must also go to the chorus, who navigate what might be the most difficult choral writing Britten ever composed with remarkable ease and clarity.
