Album Notes
Moore's music has a distinctly American flavor that is ideally suited to his subject matter. Surprisingly, he achieved this without significant quotations from American folk music.
'The Ballad of Baby Doe' received its New York premiere in 1958 at the New York City Opera with soprano Beverly Sills in the title role. The role, surprisingly small for a diva of Sills' stature, turned out to be one of her greatest triumphs. Moore's opera is brilliant in its simple eloquence. Characters sing in an unadorned, poignantly direct fashion, without ornamentation. Of course it helps that the cast includes some of the most gifted singers of the day, including Walter Cassel and Frances Bible. Sills makes the very most of two great solo scenes, the lovely "Willow Song" and a dramatic final aria. The remainder of the cast is superb as well, with Cassel and Bible singing with dramatic fervor and emotion. This is an extremely valuable document of 20th-century American opera.
