Archibald   (Member) This Wednesday, on many of their affiliates, PBS is broadcasting the Houston Opera production of Rachel Portman's THE LITTLE PRINCE. Apparently, it's also being released on CD. It doesn't appear to be much longer than 90 minutes, and if it's being shown during the PBS "Pledge Week," whose interruptions are usually interminable, it may actually be shorter than that. Has anyone here actually heard or seen it? I like Portman enough to usually get all recordings of her music. I'm curious to see what she's done with it.    Posted:   Apr 4, 2005 - 5:14 PM     By:   Spymaster   (Member) It's fantastic! I saw the BBC TV production before Christmas and subsequently bought the 2-CD set (a DVD is also available). It runs 100 minutes. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00069MNTG/qid=1112642026/sr=8-7/ref=pd_ka_6/026-1283050-9083604 I'm not a big fan of opera by any stretch, but this is a gorgeous piece of work. It has enough classic Portman-esque melodies in it to fill a dozen motion pictures. When I got it I didn't stop playing it for about 2 weeks. If you like Portman's film stuff I would HIGHLY recommend The Little Prince! I absolutely guarantee that you won't regret it.

Rachel Portman rules!    Posted:   Apr 4, 2005 - 7:36 PM     By:   TerraEpon   (Member) Yes, I was hopeing this would finally be released, and am greatly happy it was (didn't realize ity was out already). Out of curiosity, how's the pakaging? Is there a libretto? $24 is pretty cheap for a new 2CD opera recording (most tend to run at $32-$36)... Will definetly pick this up sooner or later. -Joshua    Posted:   Apr 5, 2005 - 5:53 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) But is it as insanely mono-thematic as most of her other scores?    Posted:   Apr 5, 2005 - 2:33 PM     By:   Spymaster   (Member) But is it as insanely mono-thematic as most of her other scores? No.    Posted:   Apr 17, 2015 - 7:17 AM     By:   Smaug   (Member) Ten years down the road, the CD seems out of print though the DVD is still around. Always loved this piece.     General Discussion: Rachel Portman's THE LITTLE PRINCE    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
