Description:

Orange Mountain Music presents the premiere recording of Philip Glassâ??s 1988 opera based on Edgar Allen Poeâ??s The Fall Of The House Of Usher with a libretto by Arthur Yorinks. Poeâ??s famous horror story has fascinated poets, dramatized and composers for over a century. Poe hints at much, but states hardly anything at all. Is the story real, or is it a hallucination? What are the relationship between the narrator (William), his friend Roderick Usher, and Roderickâ??s dying sister, Madeline? Has she been buried alive, or is it a demon from hell who takes such a spectacular revenge at the end? And is the vast house in which they live a living malignant entity? Incest, homosexuality, murder, and the supernatural hang in the air, but then again, such things may exist only in the imagination of the audience. Premiered in 1988, the opera has been one of Glassâ??s most popular yet has never received a recording until now performed by Wolf Trap Opera Artists, Inscape Chamber Orchestra under conductor Joseph Li. The performance features a stellar cast including Jonas Hacker as Roderick Usher, Ben Edquist as William, Matthew Adam Fleisher as the Servant, Nicholas Nestorak as the Physician, and Madison Leonard as Madeline Usher. Glassâ??s gothic opera, part of a trilogy of dark operas including Kafkaâ??s The Trial. - INSCAPE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA/JOSEPH LI/WOLF TRAP OPERA ART
