Ethel Smyth - The Wreckers

[piano888]

There's a new re-release of this wonderful 1994 recording, conducted by Smyth's champion Odaline de la Martinez - there have been other re-releases, I know, and these are still available, but they're quite expensive. This one is nicely re-packaged (slimmer! not in a double jewel case), and the booklet's been completely re-typeset and includes a very interesting essay by Christopher Wiley, about Smyth reception in the past 25 years.
There are difficulties over the Amazon listing, I gather, so the one shown there may be the old one - you can tell by the price, though, as this one, released by Retrospect Opera, is probably around the £17.95 mark. It's most easily obtained direct from them, at www.retrospectopera.org.uk.
