Reviews

‘As a guide to this cornucopia Leslie Howard could hardly be bettered’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘All kinds of fascinating morsels … there is much here to interest any admirer of this remarkable and prolific composer’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Fascinating trouvailles’ (Classic CD)
The unfinished oratorio St Stanislaus consists mostly of more-or-less completed numbers, but there is a tantalizing fragment in the Library of Congress which is worth preserving in sound.

from notes by Leslie Howard © 1999

L’oratorio inachevé St Stanislaus est essentiellement constitué de numéros plus ou moins complets, mais la Library of Congress abrite un fragment séduisant, qui vaut d’être préservé au disque.

Français: Hypérion

Das unvollendete Oratorium St. Stanislaus besteht überwiegend aus mehr oder weniger vollständigen Nummern, aber es gibt ein verlockendes Fragment in Library of Congress, das es verdient, auf Tonträger bewahrt zu werden.
