"A style of two strands twisted together. The first is the oldest tradition in opera, the monodic writing of Peri and Caccini at the time of the Florentine Camerata, and the other is the Modern Operatic semi-recitative of Schoenberg, Hindemith, and their English and American followers, but without the instrumental ensemble.
"At a time, when nothing is radical, this work is remarkably so, and requires and deserves attention and some ingenuity of presentation as well as the singing talent to realize it."
Not Nice Music no longer represents the music of Barry and Baruch, but their music is archived on the Not Nice Music website at www.notnicemusic.com.
