Few composers this century have shocked their audience as consistently as Michael Tippett. Always one step ahead, he followed the lyricism of The Midsummer Marriage with the stark King Priam, which brings Homeric mythology tangibly and violently to life. Sound-wise, it is as stripped down as Tippett's music was to get; a mosaic of ideas and references which underpins the stage action remorselessly at every turn. This heightens the very human dimension of the drama, both in the interplay of characters on stage and in the obvious highpoints: Achilles's chilling war-cry which closes Act 2, or the trio of Hecuba, Andromache and Helen in Act 3--presenting the female response to war and destruction with heart-rending anguish. Recorded back in 1980, David Atherton's performance has lost nothing in sheer physical immediacy; the excellent cast, featuring Norman Bailey, Heather Harper and Yvonne Minton, projects the human tragedy with real intensity. A landmark recording of a great opera, still as sadly relevant today as ever. --Richard Whitehouse Amazon.co.uk Review.
