Christine Brewer: Great Operatic Arias Chandos ---
Barber: Vanessa
In a Chandos recording of Vanessa released in the United States on
November 9, 2004, Leonard Slatkin conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the
BBC Singers, and a cast including Christine Brewer,
Susan Graham, and
William Burden. "This superb new recording of Samuel Barber's first opera easily
outshines previous versions - not just the seriously flawed one recently
issued on Naxos, but even the original cast version recorded by RCA in
1958," writes Edward Greenfield for
guardian.co.uk.
