Winning examples of both genres appear on this release: the world premiere recording of a short, one-act opera, The Radio Hour - as well as four shorter vocal pieces. The Radio Hour - the world's first-ever \"choral opera\" - is a compact work for silent actress, with running narrative and commentary from a choir. The program is rounded out with four mostly art song-based works in varied arrangements, several with choral elements, sung by the vaunted John Alexander Singers. Susan Graham, one of America's most beloved mezzo-sopranos, is heard in three of the shorter pieces; Pacific Symphony members provide the instrumentals. \"A masterpiece of clarity and intensity, with a score that is at once thematically compact and richly inventive.\" San Francisco Chronicle (review of Jake Heggie's opera \"Moby Dick\")\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delos Records","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Radio Hour Delos Records","offer_id":47775934447924,"sku":"DLS3484.2","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3011804.jpg?v=1747761674","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/heggie-graham-pacific-symphony-radio-hour_aec-dls3484-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
