Download Enoch Arden: Melodrama for Speaker and Piano AudioBook Free
Continuing a cooperation started years back with a performance at Tanglewood of Schubert' Die Schone Mullerin, Benjamin Luxon and Frederick Moyer now decide on the little-explored genre of music for piano and narrator. Enoch Arden first came up to international attention with a taking by Claude Raines and Glenn Gould, but they have since drifted back again to obscurity. That is a work that both Luxon and Moyer have adored for quite some time. The poem is immediately accessible to any audience and explains to a heart-wrenching history of companionship, love, separation, and sacrifice. The masterful credit score creates a robust soundtrack to the saga. Music by Richard Strauss, performed on piano by Frederick Moyer.
