William Schuman's "Schuman: The Mighty Casey - A Question of Taste" is a captivating journey through two distinct musical narratives, showcasing the composer's mastery of storytelling and orchestration. Released on Delos in 2011, this album spans a substantial 2 hours and 9 minutes, offering a rich and immersive listening experience.
The first half of the album is dedicated to "The Mighty Casey," a baseball opera that brings to life the classic poem by Ernest Thayer. Schuman's music vividly portrays the drama and excitement of a baseball game, with each scene and character brought to life through dynamic orchestration and memorable melodies. From the anticipation of the big day to the thrilling final moments of the game, this opera is a testament to Schuman's ability to capture the essence of American culture and sportsmanship.
The second half of the album features "A Question of Taste," a one-act opera that delves into the complexities of human relationships and social dynamics. With its intricate plot and richly drawn characters, this opera offers a compelling exploration of themes such as love, ambition, and the search for meaning in life. Schuman's music beautifully complements the dramatic action, with lush harmonies and evocative melodies that draw the listener in and hold them spellbound.
Throughout the album, Schuman's compositions are brought to life by a talented cast of singers and musicians, who deliver powerful performances that bring the stories to life with passion and precision. The album is a testament to Schuman's enduring legacy as one of America's most important and innovative composers, and a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the power of music to tell a story.
