Five Novelists
With Peggy Reynolds.
4: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The greatest of German dramatists - whose Faust is a "sound story" in itself - was not a prolific novelist.
But two of his novels took Europe by storm and provided inspiration for countless composers. Including excerpts from:
Massenet Werther Soloists, LPO, conductor Michel Plasson
Pugnanl Werther Luca Occelli
(narrator), Academia Montis Regalis , conductor Luigi Mangiocavallo Ambrolse Thomas Mignon Lawrence Dale (tenor),
Orchestra of the Opera Comique, conductor Jean-Claude Hartmann
Plus settings of Mignon's songs from Wilhelm Meister by Schubert and Wolf.
