Treemonisha opera recording earns strong praise
The long awaited complete recording of Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha is hailed as a worthy addition to American folk music. Gunther Schuller’s orchestration shines in the Decca two LP set, with standout performances by Betty Allen, Carmen Balthrop, and Willard White. The work, a three act tale set after the Civil War, blends arias and choruses to a ragtime finale.
