Howard Hanson’s Merry Mount
"For the past ten years, opera fans the world over have been asking for the Symphony’s recording
of this remarkable American opera," notes Music Director Gerard Schwarz. "We are thrilled to present
this wonderful work on the Naxos American Opera Classics label."
Seattle Symphony and Naxos, the world’s leading independent classical music label, released the
long-awaited recording of Howard Hanson’s American opera classic, Merry Mount, on May 29, 2007. The
two-disc set is from a live concert recording originally made in October 1996, celebrating the 100th
anniversary of the composer’s birth. The release features Maestro Schwarz leading the Seattle Symphony,
Seattle Symphony Chorale, Northwest Boychoir, Seattle Girls’ Choir and soloists in performances at
Seattle Center Opera House. Says classicstoday.com, "This recording
showcases the opera at its best."
