Even with the revival of fortune in the reputations of women composers, the music of Dame Ethel Smyth has remained obscure. She was the first woman to have a work (Der Wald) performed at the Metropolitan Opera (the second was Kaija Saariaho, in 2016), and she had a flair for vocal writing. This is the world premiere of The Prison, which Smyth titled a Symphony for Soprano, Bass-baritone, Chorus, and Orchestra, but which might better be described as a cantata. The text by H.B. Brewster is a dialogue between a dying prisoner and his own soul, and in this, it's a bit reminiscent of the metaphysical Bach cantatas representing the soul. That's about as far as comparisons can go, however, in conveying what to expect. The work, to paraphrase James Thurber, is very much like nothing you've heard before. It is tonal in orientation, but it is not a Romantic or pastoral work, and as with much of Smyth's music, it fit none of the "-isms" of the day. The division in style between the two vocal parts is sharp; the Soul, the soprano, has a restricted set of pitches, and in many stretches, sings only a single note. The performances by both Dashon Burton as the Prisoner and Sarah Brailey as the Soul are highly expressive and right in their dimensions; again, despite the Symphony title, this is a smaller work. They are ably backed by New York's Experiential Orchestra and Chorus under James Blachly, in material that was totally new for all. It is possible that some will find the work talky, but for most, it will be music of deep seriousness from its 72-year-old composer, a reflection on nothing less than life and death.
