The movements of the singers and chorus as they navigate the multi-layered stage space and majestic scenery are highly effective. Henchen has meticulously studied the score, drawing an overwhelming performance from the orchestra through his penetrating interpretation, while the castincluding Neugestadt, Lloyd, and Uusitalodeliver moving, dramatic performances under Henchens baton.Nippon Columbia
