Elliott Carter - Elliott Carter: What Next?

The premiere recording of the first-ever opera by America's greatest living composer, released to coincide with his 95th birthday, is a major new music event. Going against the archetypes of �late work�, Carter�s opera is spirited, energetic, full of power. As The Economist recently observed, �Today Elliott Carter is writing music of dazzling brilliance and subtlety: this is an invigorating explosion of creativity.� Peter E�tv�s draws superlative performances from a gifted cast.
