All of C-T's Shakespearean Overtures I've heard are distinctive and worthy of being performed more often. I'm very glad that Andrew Penny and this fine orchestra could record them for us to enjoy, and that these uploads can make them available on YT. This Op. 76 is especially lovely as well as being dramatic.

Ideas: excellent. Orchestration: splendid. Direction: brilliant.
The whole opera is on TH-cam in English. Compare with "le Marchand de Venise" (in French on TH-cam, opera by Reynaldo Hahn).
