| It's easy to get confused about the overture in ALNM because some of the revivals, including the RNT production and the Broadway revival, have not done what was done originally. Both cut back on it to varying degrees, with the RNT production cutting it down to almost nothing and the Broadway revival breaking it up and . . . whatever it did. And also because there have been only two complete recordings of it (unless I've missed something), and neither used the original orchestration, and one of those recordings has never been issued on CD. And on the other, the soprano doesn't take the high note. |
