Listen "Ethel Smyth"
Episode Synopsis
Although British composer Ethel Smyth's The Prison, which premiered in 1931, draws comparisons to Gustav Mahler and Richard Wagner, this groundbreaking composer saw none of their acclaim, thanks to misogyny. A new--and world premiere--recording of this undefinable work for orchestra, chorus and vocal soloists from James Blachly leading the Experiental Orchestra and Chorus with soloists Sarah Brailey and Dashon Burton, released last month on Chandos, attempts to rectify that wrong.https://www.chandos.net/products/catalogue/CHAN%205279
