Ballad of Poor Peter Gordon Getty; Nikolai Schukoff; Münchner Rundfunkorchester; Asher Fisch. 5. The Little Match Girl Gordon Getty; Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks; Münchner Rundfunkorchester; Asher Fisch. Many of the pieces collected in The Little Match Girl are based on, or inspired by, poetry from the 19th and early 20th centuries, a trademark of American composer Gordon Getty. The title work is a heartbreaking fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen put to music almost word for word in a challenging setting for the orchestra and particularly the chorus. This recording by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester and the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks was conducted by Asher Fisch and Ulf Schirmer respectively. They are joined by tenor Nikolai Schukoff, soprano Melody Moore and baritone Lester Lynch.

Il importe vraiment de fermer les yeux sur le fait que le compositeur Gordon Getty est l’héritier de l’empire Getty, de ses milliards, de sa puissance, pour se concentrer sur Gordon Getty le compositeur. Né en 1933, il a à son actif quatre œuvres scéniques (opéras ou cantates), nombre d’ouvrages pour chœur – son plus grand répertoire, en vérité –, de la musique pour piano et quatre œuvres symphoniques. Getty est toujours resté à l’écart de l’avant-garde qui a sévi – surtout en Europe, il est vrai – au cours des années 70, pour maintenir un langage aux confins de la tonalité qui n’est pas sans.

The Little Match Girl Moore; Schukoff, Lynch; Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Fisch, Schirmer. The Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks isn’t always intelligible, but they sing with good pitch and rhythmic precision. Getty also derives considerable musical inspiration from nature in A Prayer for My Daughter (one of several other works on this disc),which begins with a vigorous instrumental storm, shortly followed by the full chorus intoning the vivid opening lines of W. B. Yeats’s poem of the same name. Nikolai Schukoff’s earnest, opulent tenor is well-suited to these expressive, vocally sympathetic songs. The disc concludes with Getty’s engrossing, well-wrought cantata Joan and the Bells, which relates the Joan of Arc story by way of Shaw (Saint Joan) and Jean Anouilh (The Lark).
