Product Description

From Amazon.com

Back in the days when the forces that controlled television actually cared about art, it was perfectly normal to see original plays and live musical performances right in your living room. In 1950, Menotti was commissioned to write an opera for television, and on Christmas Eve, 1951, Amahl and the Night Visitors was performed by the NBC Television Theater. This recording, under the composer's personal direction, was made a few days later, and it remains the definitive version, even though the sound is very dated and rough in places. This story of a poor shepherd boy's encounter with three kings and the miraculous healing of his crippled leg when he offers his crutch as a gift has captured audiences around the world ever since its premiere. Its charming mix of tuneful melody, dancing rhythms, delightful choruses, humor and poignancy, and an English text makes this work immediately accessible to audiences of all ages and musical tastes. --David Vernier

5.0 out of 5 stars All good memories come flooding back ..., 22 Dec 2001
By J. Burgess "John Burgess" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is as good an introduction as you can ever give your child to the beauty of the human voice and to rich modern melody. The story is enchanting to both young and old, and Amahl's bare faced cheek will certainly win over children! I was part of the children's chorus when this piece was performed in Birmingham in the UK, some 25 years ago. I've never, ever forgotten the effect that Menotti's music had on me, even though I have not heard the piece since then. It's lovely to be able to download some of the clips of the music, and I am really looking forward to hearing it again in full.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Nostalgia, 12 Aug 2005
By A Customer
I took part in an amateur Christmas production of this work as a teenager in the 60s. I have never forgotten the experience, and it is wonderful to know of a professional recording.
