I'll bet I know a singer who would do a great job.   Let me look at the score and see just where the range lies . . . .
Can you assemble 25 virtuoso string players, two percussionists and a bass singer? ;D

The instrumentalists must be discoverable here in the environs of Boston.  Just the right bass, now . . . .

Perhaps you could make a call to the Boston Pops.  >:D ;D

I heard the samples from Barshai's WDR 14, and hey!, they're much better than almost all of the MajorLabel accounts. Sure wish it was a stand alone. The bass has a reeeally nice voice (that doesn't sound like Aleksashkin), and the soprano had an... interesting voice- different- tolerable in a generous way- better than I'm leading on. The strings were incisive- percussion sounded good.

Anyone?



I'm holding out hope that the Chung on Koch might be the missing link, but it's mighty expensive.
