RELEASED TODAY: A heads-up on the London Philharmonic’s forthcoming own-label release, on September 23, of Tippett’s Midsummer Marriage, conducted by Edward Gardner.

Previously published on August 26 Dipping in, it sounds terrific, very clear, well-balanced, and the presentation – including programme note, synopsis, and complete libretto – is handsome. It’s a great opera, too. LPO – 0124 (3 CDs). http://www.colinscolumn.com/london-philharmonic-orchestra-label-releases-tippetts-opera-the-midsummer-marriage-on-23-september-2022/ http://www.colinscolumn.com/london-philharmonic-orchestra-edward-gardner-conducts-michael-tippetts-the-midsummer-marriage-live-relay-on-bbc-radio-3/
