LE VIN HERBÉ A RARELY-PERFORMED MASTERPIECE Cantori New York's Le Vin Herbé was the "Editor's Choice" of Opera News in July, 2000. It was acclaimed by the Baltimore Sun as "Dramatic, superbly recorded." Steven Tharp and Laura Danehower Whyte are featured soloists, and other roles are filled by members of the chorus. (Newport Classic NPD85670)
From the CD booklet notes: "Le Vin Herbé holds a special place in the hearts and history of I Cantori di New York. We first performed it during my inaugural season as the group's conductor, and again eight years later to celebrate I Cantori's fifteenth season. many of us cherish these performances as highlights of our musical lives...We are confident Frank Martin would have appreciated our love for this piece and hailed the flexibility that has enabled us to remain committed to it. We would be delighted if our recording helped other choruses, especially volunteer choruses, to become aware of this wonderful piece and inspire them to program it. Le Vin Herbé, a work for the ages if ever there was one, merits a wider public." --Mark Shapiro Listen: Act 1 - Scene 2 'Le Nef' Act 1 - Scene 5 'Iseut L'Aimait' Act 2 - Scene 1 'Iseut Est Reine' Act 2 - Scene 4 'Dans Le Fourre' Purchase your copy securely through PayPal. 2-CD set $20.00, includes shipping/handling.
