Most of the day was the wonderful piano recordings by Monique Haas collected on DG:

now the strange and quite haunting Concerto For Coloratura Soprano and Orchestra by Gliere.

with Dame Joan and Richard Bonynge who made the work famous with this recording from 1968

Well Don, I found it quite beguiling and it has gone straight onto the Wish List! As I am not familiar with the work and the various sopranos that "sing" it I will have to do a bit of research to see what my options for purchasing are like.

Playing around on Naxos Music Library I found this recording on the Northern Flowers label and was quite taken by it. The soprano is darker and more mournful than Sutherland giving the piece a whole new dimension. Recommended.
