The Mar-Apr 2024 issue of American Record Guide reviews the GRAMMY®-nommed Pentatone release, Corigliano: The Lord of Cries, “…with an organic construction that feels artless, Corigliano has created three virtuosic roles that are performed to perfection on this recording… The Britten-esque orchestral interludes & choral numbers are compelling (the excellent Boston Modern Orchestra Project and @Odysseyopera Chorus under the direction of Gil Rose).”

Five years ago, #BMOP presented Charles Wuorinen’s adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s children’s novel, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, at Jordan Hall. The world premiere recording was released the next year on #BMOPsound. With an all-star cast, James Fenton’s cleverly adapted libretto, and Wuorinen’s intricate score, this work is a musical delight // https://bmopsound.bandcamp.com/album/charles-wuorinen-haroun-and-the-sea-of-stories

“@Odysseyopera, in partnership w/ #BMOP, is set to present the New England premiere of Dominick Argento’s opera ‘The Voyage of Edgar Allan Poe’…[conductor Gil] Rose said, ‘Poe lapsed into obscurity after its last performance in 1990. It’s astonishing this work has not been performed since… [Argento’s] music is of such high quality that it’s kind of a crime his praises aren’t sung even louder..’” https://operawire.com/the-voyage-of-edgar-allan-poe-to-be-performed-by-odyssey-opera/

“John Corigliano’s ‘The Lord of Cries’ (Pentatone) and Tobias Picker’s ‘Awakenings’ (#BMOPsound) are evidence of the cornucopia of new American operas and some of the best of the recent lot… both recordings are performed by the versatile and impressive @bmop, conducted by Gil Rose. The studio sessions followed concert performances with singers from @Odysseyopera.” / https://www.timesunion.com/music/article/2-new-operas-attest-music-s-embarrassment-riches-18548091.php
