Catharine Woodward; Keel Watson; Philip Modinos; Holden Madagame; Edwin Kaye; Regents Opera Ensemble - Wagner by Arrangement, Vol. 3: Operatic Highlights

Necessity being the mother of invention, the English conductor Ben Woodward has arranged the full-symphonic textures of some of Wagner�s operas for eighteen-part chamber orchestra to bring them within range of the forces available to Regents Opera in London � arrangements which should, indeed, put them with the reach of smaller companies everywhere. This new 'room-sized Wagner' enhances the sense of scale of the originals with a striking degree of clarity.
