BRIDGE Musto/ Bolcom: Bastianello/ Lucrezia

Product Description This two-disc set presents the world premiere recordings of new comic operas by John Musto and William Bolcom. The twin operas are on librettos written by Mark Campbell, and were commissioned by and composed for the excellent New York Festival of Song (NYFOS). This release comes packaged in a slipcase which contains a 112 page book with complete librettos for?áeach opera. Review I cannot single out any particular singer for praise,because the complete sense of ensemble is the real achievement here. Each of the five soloists is excellent,and accompanied to perfection by pianists Michael Barrett and Steven Blier. --IRR,Mar'11
