Jonathan Harvey: Inquest of Love: Opera

Andrew Porter says '. . . a stirring and beautiful adventure. . . He has written some of the most ardent love music since Messiaen's and love music finds its place in the opera. . . There is also music of pain and despair. Bell sounds chants choruses electronics swelling harmonies sharp-focus solo lines fill the theatre with deep ever-changing ever-stirring music.'
