{"product_id":"william-bolcom-a-view-from-the-bridge","title":"William Bolcom: A View from the Bridge","description":"This is the world-premiere recording of William Bolcom’s tragic opera, unanimously acclaimed as one of the most significant additions to the American opera repertory in recent times. View is based on Miller’s 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. Bolcom’s beautifully crafted and richly varied score embellishes but never overwhelms Miller’s dark drama.\nBolcom 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 composer’s longtime collaborator, Arnold Weinstein, who retains the drama’s taut structure while still allowing ample opportunity for lyrical expansion. The Lyric Opera’s production could not be more effectively mounted or splendidly cast. Dennis Russell Davies encourages the orchestra to savor the score’s purely musical beauties without compromising the drama’s swift pacing. Working as a honed ensemble, the cast never strikes a false note.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005M998\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00005M998.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lyric Opera of Chicago|William Bolcom\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
