  • THE METROPOLITAN OPERA on PIRATE CD COMPILED by FRANK HAMILTON © 2011 [email protected]
    THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ON PIRATE CD COMPILED BY FRANK HAMILTON © 2011 http://FrankHamilton.org [email protected] This chronological discography of radio broadcasts and in-house recordings on compact discs is devoted mainly to non-commercial issues. There are still some mistakes such as roles assigned improperly. There have been MET issues on foreign labels without international distribution that I have not had access to, and I have not included those here. I wish to thank Pierre Guillemette of Candiac, Quebec, for the countless corrections that he made in the early stages of this project, and Bill DePeter of New York for his major contributions. Compact disc serial numbers are followed by the total number of CDs in the set, and this is followed by the year of issue when known. 1933 3/03/33: Tristan und Isolde (excerpt): FRIDA-LEIDER-GESELLSCHAFT FLG 11031933 1 2003 Isolde Frida Leider Tristan Lauritz Melchior Brangäne Maria Olszewska Kurwenal Friedrich Schorr König Marke Ludwig Hofmann Melot Arnold Gabor Ein junger Seemann Hans Clemens Ein Hirt Hans Clemens Der Steuermann James Wolfe maestro direttore Artur Bodanzky Kennst du der Mutter Künste nicht? — Herr Tristan trete nah!

It is a one act opera with a single set and no great production problems. "The Long Christmas Dinner" takes place entirely at the dinner table of an American family that is celebrating Christmas. Although the scene remains un- changed, almost a century passes in the course of the fifty minute act. Through the Door of Life on one side of the room new members of the family join the meal while others leave it by the Door of Death opposite. Another premiere of an American one act opera took place on ABC-TV on Oct. 15th. "The Thief and the Hangman" by Abraham Ellstein with a libretto by Morton Wishengrad. It was presented under the series "Direction '62", Theodore PRESSER is the publisher of yet another American chamber opera "The Brute", music by Lawrence Moss, libretto by Eric Bentley, based on a play by Chekov.
