About "Candide, Act I : Bernstein: Candide, Act I: No. 9, Auto-da-fé" by Adolph Green
Bernstein’s satirical auto-da-fé from Candide erupts with chaotic energy. Adolph Green leads a vibrant cast through a dizzying, mock-heroic chorus, the music’s brassy bombast and rhythmic urgency capturing the absurdity of blind optimism.
