Description:

Dodgson was born in London in 1924. His parents were painters, and Lewis Carroll (real name Charles Latwidge Dodgson), known for "Alice in Wonderland," was a distant relative; he was drafted into the Royal Navy at age 18 and served for four years, then studied composition and music theory at the Royal Academy of Music, and began working as a composer in 1950. This chamber opera, "Margaret Catchpole - Two Worlds Apart," tells the story of Margaret, a Suffolk-born woman who was shipped to Australia for stealing horses, but escaped from prison and lived in seclusion. The detailed characterization, beautiful language, and simple music make this an appealing opera. Naxos Japan
