I bought this for a friend. I bought my own copy years ago. Sit down, with no distractions and listen hard. Astonishing, beautiful, heartbreaking, the music swelling and diminishing, swirling melodies, subtly menacing and sometimes sombre. I am no fan of opera but the voice is stunning and the piece would not be as impactful without it. Given the subject matter (I only found out after I had played it several times) the music and the voice make perfect sense. If you need music that is both meaningful and incredible, that makes your head spin, your spine shiver and raises emotions but you can't really understand why, then this an experience that will leave you both drained and unforgotton.
