Performer: Boston Lyric Opera

The composer's magnum opus, unjustly neglected in English-speaking countries, receives magnificent treatment from Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, anchored by David Butt Philip and Christine Goerke.

Conducting a reduced version of his own opera, Matthew Aucoin's Eurydice still packs a big punch. 

Impeccable ensemble work in Dawn M Simmons' first foray into opera.
