BBC RADIO 3 RECORD REVIEW DISC OF THE WEEK

The premiere recording of the oratorio by Bohuslav Martinů The Epic of Gilgamesh was played on BBC Radio 3 Record Review on November 4th as the Disc of the Week.

And the day before a solid review in The Guardian was released:

„This live recording of a Prague concert last January is apparently the work’s first in the original English that Martinů set, and benefits enormously from a strong cast of native speakers (including soprano Lucy Crowe and tenor Andrew Staples). The confident chorus and vibrant orchestra are conducted by Manfred Honeck, and Simon Callow provides actorly narration.“
