CD ReviewsUnexpected treasure ghills123 | West Des Moines, IA USA | 04/21/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Like most people, I only knew Holst from 'The Planets'. Wanting to expand my horizons, I bought this disc on a whim. What a suprise! Savitri, a half-hour chamber opera, is exotic, highly original and hauntingly beautiful. The performance is superb. All fans of late-romantic exotica should give it a try" Skip this Savitri Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 09/24/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Holst was a great devotee of Hind mythology, and his chamber opera Savitri was the best thing he did in that vein. I've loved it for forty years, and the classic performance under Imogen Holst, the composer's daughter, is out on London/Decca with the amazing Janet Baker and Robert Tear. compared to it, this performance is clumsy and awkwardly sung by the female lead."
