Another Raff opera to be recorded

[Maury]

Mr Thomas,

 Thanks very much for your dedication and hard work on behalf of these neglected composers. Hope the recording earns your full satisfaction.

[Mark Thomas]

Thanks, Maury, but this time around I'm not the prime mover of the project. All credit must go to Volker Tosta of the publisher Edition Nordstern, who has taken the lead on this one.

So far so good. We'll see how the choir does today....

[Mark Thomas]

...and they turn out to be really very good. About 30 strong, well rehearsed, good control of dynamics and enunciation. Their German pronunciation, I'm told, is "good enough". So, a result. Hearing soloists, choir and orchestra at speed and at close quarters is really exciting!
