About this item
This is the world-premiere recording of William Bolcoms tragic opera, unanimously acclaimed as one of the most significant additions to the American opera repertory in recent times. View is based on Millers powerful play depicting the fall from grace of a longshoreman, Eddie Carbone, whose barely repressed desire for his now-grown niece, Catherine, leads to the betrayal of his community and disastrous personal consequences. Bolcoms beautifully crafted and richly varied score embellishes but never overwhelms Millers dark drama.
Bolcom is an important composer in his prime, who writes confidently in an eclectic style that is musically sophisticated but always accessible. The material has been craftily adapted by the composers longtime collaborator, Arnold Weinstein, who retains the dramas taut structure while still allowing ample opportunity for lyrical expansion. The Lyric Operas production could not be more effectively mounted or splendidly cast. Dennis Russell Davies encourages the orchestra to savor the scores purely musical beauties without compromising the dramas swift pacing. Working as a honed ensemble, the cast never strikes a false note.
