List of Changes:

• Change #1 - itself. This is
• Change #2 - <newline> <newline> <newline>There are some very beautiful and moving sections dotted throughout the work, most notably being Lampwick[apost]s (Allan Clayton) constant yearning for a land where a boy may not need to work, or learn. It appears again at the end, just before his death. <newline> <newline>This true ensemble piece deserves more and more outings. It has just had its US premiere in Minnesota, but will always remain the [apost]property[apost] of Opera North, and this DVD is a perfect record of a great performanceJames Laing[apost]s performances as the fox and coachman (sounds like a pub there) are fantastic, his strong counter-tenor voice carrying over some heavy orchestration, and the teamwork between him and the slimy Mark Wilde as the cat is hilarious. <newline> <newline>There are some very beautiful and moving sections dotted throughout the work, most notably being Lampwick[apost]s (Allan Clayton) constant yearning for a land where a boy never needs to work, or learn.
