Lou Harrison: Rapunzel



The great soprano Leontyne Price sang the role of Rapunzel early in her career, or at least part of it,  and it impressed people in Italy so much that it won a prize.  This recording isn't of that performance.

Patrice Maggins, soprano; Lynne McMurtry, mezzosoprano; John Duykers, baritono --- Ensemble Parallèle diretto da Nicole Paiement

Before doing a little research for this post,  I hadn't known of a connection between Harrison's opera and Ben Weber, the composer I posted about here last week.
