Young / Thomas / Monks- Beowulf (CD)
The story of Beowulf, although thousands of years old, is still loved by many all over the world. This recording of a new musical telling of the story, composed by Toby Young, blurs traditional sense of the genre of classical music by merging it with folk and popular music. This fusion is what makes Beowulf a fantastic story. The greatest versions of the story are not the simple good verses bad, but the ones which involve slight ambiguous points; ones which allow the reader/listener to make his/her mind up about what is exactly going on. The combination of Toby Young's score and Jennifer Thorp's libretto create this perfectly - with characterful narration by celebrated actor Timothy West, beautiful performances by soprano Elin Manahan Thomas.
