Product description Opéra en 3 actes / Robert Orth (Richard Nixon), Maria Kanyova (Pat Nixon), Thomas Hammons (Henry Kissinger), Marc Heller (Mao Tse-tung)... - Colorado Symphony Orchestra - Marin Alsop, direction Review ''[The] performance, brilliantly conducted by Marin Alsop and delivered by a strong cast led by baritone Robert Orth in the title role... Alsop, a proven master of Adams style both early and late, led a dynamic performance... Conducting the Colorado Symphony, she shepherded her forces nimbly.'' --San Francisco Chronicle concert review ''Nixon is a young man's opera loud, louder, loudest. But Alsop balances rhythmic drive with careful pointers to Adam's later, more lyrical achievements...Robert Orth gives a remarkable sung impression of the president's speaking voice.'' --BBC Music Magazine ''Alsop lets you hear the workings of the music.... Adams's score hasn't dated a bit. It s come up gleaming anew. And at budget price, Naxos's Nixon really is one for our times.'' --Classic FM Magazine Classic FM CD of the month
