Abstract

"Banquo's Buried was commissioned by Roger Covell for a concert given by the Music Department of the University - of New South- Wales in October 1982. The text is Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene. The treatment of it owes a little to the composer's memory of a powerful and idiosyncratic performance of the role by Dame Sybil Thorndike. The manner was operatic and perhaps unfashionable, but there was a 'go-for-broke' spirit which made sense of the tragedy. Elizabeth Campbell has performed the work both in Europe and in Australia. The piece was conceived for all sopranos who enjoy a sense of theatre." -- Alison Bauld
