Ulf SchirmerAbout
Under its artistic director, Ulf Schirmer, it also presents itself on this CD as a charismatic advocate for enjoyable genre cross-over. No composer fits this pattern better than Leonard Bernstein. Both his West Side Story as well as the suite of Symphonic Dances extracted from the score number amongst the absolute Bernstein classics.
A rarity, on the other hand, is the short one-act opera Trouble in Tahiti. The way the gaping abyss behind an upscale bourgeois marriage is exposed both musically and dramatically is funny, striking, thrilling – and far too infrequently heard!
Cast: (Trouble in Tahiti)
- Kim Criswell (Dinah)
- Rod Gilfry (Sam)
Bonus: Elgin Heuerding in conversation with Ulf Schirmer.
