Digital Booklet

Many of the pieces collected in The Little Match Girl are based on, or inspired by, poetry from the 19th and early 20th centuries, a trademark of American composer Gordon Getty. The title work is a heartbreaking fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen put to music almost word for word in a challenging setting for the orchestra and particularly the chorus. This recording by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester and the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks was conducted by Asher Fisch and Ulf Schirmer respectively. They are joined by tenor Nikolai Schukoff, soprano Melody Moore and baritone Lester Lynch.
