One should really close the eyes upon the fact that composer Gordon Getty is one of the heirs to the billions and the power of the Getty empire, and concentrate on the excellent musician Gordon Getty. Born 1933, his repertoire boasts four major stage works, a large number of choral pieces, piano music and four major symphonic works. Getty has always steered clear from the avant-garde of the 70s – mostly confined to Europe, as a matter of fact –, to remain true to a tonal musical language that does not deny the influences of Shostakovich, Hindemith and more particularly Britten. Here is the world premiere recording of his latest opera, The Ghost of Canterville with a libretto directly inspired by Oscar Wilde’s eponymous novel, premiered 2015 at the Leipzig Opera. It is a one-acter, which in Leipzig was presented together with Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci. Britten seems to be the nearest influence, even though Menotti’s pen may be imagined through some harmonic and dramatic twists an turns. The work has been scheduled by San Francisco and Los Angeles operas, and more performances world-wide are to be expected. Humour and fantasy blend in the score and libretto: the subject deals with an American family that has recently moved to an ancient English castle haunted by a long-dead lord who has murdered his wife. Unlike former tenants, the Americans seem to have little fear of the ghost, and eventually the young daughter manages to kindly coax the ghost into retiring into blissful rest after so many centuries of meandering. Absolutely delicious! © SM/Qobuz
