Michael Tippett's "The Midsummer Marriage" is een opwindende en kleurrijke opera die in 2022 opnieuw tot leven is gebracht door het London Philharmonic Orchestra onder leiding van Edward Gardner. Deze live-opname, uitgegeven op het label van het orkest zelf, biedt een unieke kans om een van de meest iconische werken van Tippett te ervaren in al zijn glorie. De opera, die oorspronkelijk in 1955 in première ging, is een meesterwerk dat uitblinkt met zijn rijke harmonieën en diepgaande thema's.
De opname duurt ruim twee uur en dertig minuten en bevat 49 tracks die de volledige opera in al zijn details vastleggen. Het werk is een symfonie van hoop en levenskracht, met een rijke orkestratie en een diepgaande verhaallijn die de toehoorders meesleept. De opera is opgebouwd uit drie akten, elk met verschillende scènes en dansen die de rijke en complexe wereld van Tippett's visie tot leven brengen.
De cast bestaat uit een sterrenbezetting, met Robert Murray en Rachel Nicholls in de hoofdrollen als Mark en Jenifer, Ashley Riches als King Fisher, en Jennifer France en Toby Spence als Bella en Jack. Deze uitstekende zangers brengen de personages tot leven met hun krachtige stemmen en hun vermogen om de diepgaande emoties van de opera over te brengen.
"Tippett: The Midsummer Marriage" is een essentiële toevoeging aan de collectie van elke opera-liefhebber en een getuigenis van Tippett's genialiteit als componist. De opname biedt een onvergetelijke ervaring die de levendigheid en kracht van Tippett's muziek onderstreept, en het is een werk dat nog steeds gemengde reacties oproept, wat het alleen maar intrigerender maakt.
