This is a magnificent review by Anne Ozorio - together by the equally informative (if a tad less appreciative) one by Hubert Culot it tells us more than one usually expects from a record review, and one senses the writer's heart is really in it. These CDs are on the top of my list & I've started rereading Benjamin in preparation. I wonder, though, whether this is the first time a libretto has only been available in book form and not either included or put on a website - Mr Culot's suggestion that it is "available" on the website he mentions is slightly misleading: one can only order it there. I too, by the way, treasure my worn copy of In Transit (another complex vocal work) & wish Decca would issue it in remastered sound.
