Обложка альбома «Tippett: The Midsummer Marriage (Live)» — Edward Gardner, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Robert Murray, Rachel Nicholls, Ashley Riches, Jennifer France, London Philharmonic Choir & English National Opera Chorus

Modelled on Mozart’s <i>The Magic Flute</i>, the English composer Michael Tippett’s 1955 opera, <i>The Midsummer Marriage</i>, has confounded some and delighted many in its playful mix of myth, Jungian psychology and sexual symbolism. It leaps joyfully off the page in this live recording made at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2021. Conductor Edward Gardner is the energising presence, delighting in Tippett’s ravishingly detailed orchestration and drawing vividly committed performances from the singers. Among these, the tenor Robert Murray excels as Mark, while Toby Spence and soprano Jennifer France catch Tippett’s sense of humour winningly in Act II’s conclusion. Tinglingly alive in every bar, Gardner’s interpretation fully vindicates the quirkiness and optimism of Tippett’s vision.
