Suspenseful like a Hitchcock thrillerProbably no other opera of the 20th century has found more enthusiastic followers all over the world in recent years than Samuel Barber's "Vanessa". The combination of its film noir-like atmosphere with a story full of psychological confusion is reminiscent of Hitchcock's film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's successful novel "Rebecca," and Barber's fascinating music identifies him as one of the most important composers of the late Romantic period in the 20th century. This recording from the Glyndebourne Opera Festival in England is a visually as well as musically ideal adaptation of the highly attractive material.
