Which life experiences do we retain as memories - and why? Can one really share memories with other people - and if so, can we be certain that we are speaking of the same experience? What is the lowest common denominator of reality?
The very modern opera Julietta by Bohuslav Martinů is concerned with these and other questions. It is being presented by OehmsClassics in this live recording made in June-July 2015 by the Frankfurt Opera
"Sebastian Weigle draws incisive playing from the Frankfurters, teasing out the crunchy textures…[Lascarro is] intense and passionate…[Streit] attacks Michel's treacherously high-lying, declamatory music with an intelligence and suppleness…the supporting cast are admirably focused" (Gramophone)
'You should be beguiled by changes of pace and texture even when you're wondering when the dream will end' Opera Recording of the Month October 2016
