{"product_id":"treemonisha","title":"TREEMONISHA","description":"This release is an outstanding version of Scott Joplin’s opera Treemonisha. Not only because this recording - which was orchestrated by the American composer and jazz musician Gunther Schuller in 1975 for the Houston Grand Opera - probably comes the closest to Joplin’s original intention, but also because the recording’s crisp and bright sound can now be cherished on 2 SACDs, complete with a full libretto in English.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  -----\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  REVIEWS:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  The cast is well balanced and convincing-interesting to hear Willard White, as Ned, well before his later triumphs--the recording, showing its age slightly, is adequate and the whole production much to be welcomed on to Compact Disc.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  -- Gramophone review of original DG release on CD [8\/1992]\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  This release is an outstanding version of Scott Joplin’s opera Treemonisha.
