Yeah I know it's in English, and it's cut, and the orchestra and chorus are huge, but I like it, so sue me...

A great disc that. The Cantata is just fab. The Wooden Prince brilliantly colourful and much as I like it maybe it could do with a bit of trimming. I mean, if Bartók could, for whatever crazy reason, cut off the awesome ending of the Miraculous Mandarin to make a 'suite', why could he not cut a bit of the fat off The Wooden Prince?

Uh oh! Now I no longer have an excuse for not knowing this piece.

By the way, Bill, have I thanked you for recommending the Dohnanyi Ninth? A great CD.

Excellent!  Great to hear that.  *wipes sweat from brow using a towel that has been being chewed on*

I would recommend this recording for the Op. 80:

Just threw out my Bach cantata cd to make room for it on my desert island set.

We went to the EXACT same pairing last year here in Colorado.  Too bad they did not put the Op. 80 last.

It must have been a ghost town in the second half then.

Bernard Herrmann's String Quartet called "Echoes" but a better subtitle is "Norman Bates Resurrected."

Kleiber and Janowitz make the difference. Next time I'll skip the dialogue.
