El Pessebre - The Unique Manger Story

Milton C. Hanson | Nothfield, MN USA | 12/28/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first encountered Casals' oratorio in 1972 on an RCA label on long play. I was thoroughly captivated. Then in 1998, I began to search for a copy on CD. After several months of searching I found one in Spain. But no distributor handled it in the US. To suddenly find it available now is like finding a special jewel.This recording of the Catalonian poet Joan Alavedra's little poem written at the request of his little daughter "Daddy, what did the animals say about the Baby Jesus" and the glorious music of Pablo Casals is of rare beauty. The music is so captivating, so glorious, so inspiring. The work was completed while Casals and Alavedra were under house-arrest in 1943. Casals adds to the original poetry by a glorious prayer for peace in the final "Gloria" and the soprano's prayer "Peace on Earth."This is music not to be missed."

A work of art by one of the masters of the 20th Century

"I am very glad to have found this recording after looking in vain for a copy of the original live recording in the 1972 Festival Casals in Puerto Rico, a historic appearance by Maestro Casals. This is a treasured item in my collection of his works."
