An Oratorio by Frank Martin, recounting the story of Tristan and Iseut. For singers, strings and piano.
“Under Mr. Shapiro’s sure leadership the able choristers and strong instrumentalists gave a performance that combined moving restraint with narrative urgency.”
– The New York Times.
“Absolutely beyond reproach are the eight stand-out instrumentalists (seven strings and piano [Jeanne Golan]). The score calls for virtuosic playing of the highest order, and Shapiro’s musicians deliver the goods with vitality, exuberance and polish.”
