THE TELEPHONE + LA VOIX HUMAINE Farley, Serebrier (DVD)

Soprano Carole Farley turns in virtuoso performances in brilliantly staged productions of two classic twentieth-century operas that dramatize the humorous and tragic potential of that indispensable accessory, the telephone. Farley is joined by Russell Smythe in the Menotti opera; the Poulenc is a monodrama. With José Serebrier leading the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The Telephone is subtitled in English.
