Wuthering Heights
Potted Reviews Following are extracts from various reviews "Various other attempts at adapting Wuthering Heights for the stage have been submitted to the Bronte Society in the past but Bernard Taylor's adaptation is the first that I have really approved of and would be prepared to support." - Dr Juliet Barker, former Curator and Librarian of the Bronte Museum, Haworth, West Yorkshire, and author of numerous publications about the Brontes. "Bernard J. Taylor's big, sweepingly romantic score sustains a feeling of dark passion entirely appropriate for an adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel concerning the ill-fated love between Cathy and Heathcliff." - Show Music Magazine, USA, Summer, 1992. "This is what stage music should be - passionate, powerful, melodic . . . If you buy only one album this year, make it this one - Mike Gibb, Masquerade Magazine. "The whole thing is tailor-made for the West End stage, where it is sure to go down a storm." Huddersfield Daily Examiner. "Every number, whether vocal or instrumental, packs the kind of emotional punch that musical performers and audiences cry out for." Sarah Hopkins, Beneath the Mask" Summer 1994 issue. "Something to shiver about!" -House & Garden (British edition), March 1992. "In the mould of the classic musicals of Jerome Kern and Richard Rogers." - Jersey Evening Post, November 1991. "A dark, brooding score, fiery and dramatic as the subject." -Terry Wardrope, Words and Music. |
