{"product_id":"margaret-price-margaret-price-in-recital-cd","title":"Margaret Price - Margaret Price In Recital (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eA song recital new to CD from a peerless lyric soprano, coupled with classic recordings of Ravel and Verdi. In 1971 Andrew Porter wrote that Margaret Price's voice was among the things that make one 'glad to be alive'. In the 1960s she had recorded for a small Welsh label a recital of Welsh, German and Italian songs that would become signature items for her over the coming decades. Reissued in 1969 by L'Oiseau-Lyre, the album makes it to CD for the first time in this compilation. In favourites such as Schubert's Heidenröslein, Verdi's Ave maria and five Welsh folksongs, Price is on sovereign form, with a gleaming upper register and engagingly fresh phrasing. Also from the early 70s is a rare foray into contemporary music inspired by her Welsh heritage, with Alun Hoddinott's setting of a text by Emyr Humphries, Roman Dream. She recorded this for Argo along with a set of Gaelic folksongs by Phyllis Tate; these, too, are transferred to CD for the first time. More familiar delights are offered on CD2, with Deutsche Grammophon capturing her voice in full and glorious maturity in a 1987 album of Verdi songs and a recording of Ravel's opulent, oriental song-cycle Shéhérezade, in which she is sensitively partnered by the London Symphony Orchestra under a long-time musical partner, Claudio Abbado; together in 1971 they had recorded the Altenberg-Lieder of Berg which fill out CD1. Thus Price sings in five languages through the course of the compilation, and shows herself a gifted word-painter in each of them: it's a comprehensive tribute to the art of a soprano esteemed by Sir Georg Solti as 'a musician's singer and a conductor's singer'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBELLINI Almen se non poss’io\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e DONIZETTI La Conocchia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e VERDI Ave Maria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e ROSSINI L’Invito\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Du bist die Ruh’ D.774\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heidenröslein D. 257\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gretchens Bitte D.564\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Die Forelle D.550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Y bore glas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bugeilio’r Gwenith Gwyn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wrth Fynd Efo Deio I Dowyn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dafydd y Garreg Wen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Y Deryn Pur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e TATE Three Gaelic Ballads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e TATE Three Gaelic Ballads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e TATE Three Gaelic Ballads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e HODDINOTT Roman Dream Op. 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BERG Altenberger Lieder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BERG Altenberger Lieder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BERG Altenberger Lieder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BERG Altenberger Lieder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BERG Altenberger Lieder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Il tramonto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La seduzione\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ad una stella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lo spazzacamino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Perduta ho la pace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Deh pietoso oh Addolorata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chi i bei dì m’adduce ancora\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La zingara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e L’esule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Non t’accostare all’urna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In solitaria stanza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nell’orror di notte oscura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Il poveretto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stornello\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ave Maria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e RAVEL Shéhérazade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e RAVEL Shéhérazade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e RAVEL Shéhérazade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521980174610,"sku":"028948252374","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/margaret-price-margaret-price-in-recital-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
