Description / My Opinion
|
|
Footlight Records - Ordered 04/02/99 - Received 04/24/99 The booklet contains 3 pages of synopsis / description, one page of reviews, two pages of track listing and one page for the cast. The CD is dedicated to the fond memory of Joe Papp. This recording is very nice. The sound quality pleases me a lot. The score is very interesting, it is both simple and elaborate. The performers are singing very well. As a whole, this recording has this simplicity that makes some artwork wonderful. I like it a lot.
