The opera chronicles Chips' story of love, loss and learning over his decades-long tenure at Brookfield. Along the way, we’re reminded of the difference one good teacher can make as we watch Chips and his children, \"thousands of them, and all boys,\" enrich each other’s lives.\r\n\r\nWriting both the music and libretto of his opera, Getty has shaped Hilton’s cherished story into a memory play, in which the protagonist looks back on important episodes of his life. The score encapsulates the intimacy of the plot and the nuances of its characters. Just like Chips, Getty treats each personality with a profound understanding of - and love for - the human spirit, with all its strengths and flaws. For Getty, after decade of fascination with the character and story of Mr. Chips, the completion of this opera is the realization of a long-held dream.\r\n\r\nGordon Getty is a PENTATONE artist with a vast discography. Goodbye, Mr. Chips is his fourth opera recording on the label, after Plump Jack (2012), Usher House (2013) and The Canterville Ghost (2015). Melody Moore, Nathan Granner, Lester Lynch and Kevin Short have been featured on many PENTATONE recordings. Conductor Dennis Doubin and the San Francisco Boys Chorus make their label debut.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarbary Coast Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSan Francisco Boys Chorus\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDennis Doubin, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast (in order of appearance)\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nMerrivale - Lester Lynch, baritone\r\nChips - Nathan Granner, tenor\r\nKathie - Melody Moore, soprano\r\nFaulkner - Michael Jankosky, tenor\r\nWest - Bruce Rameker, baritone\r\nRalston - Kevin Short, bass-baritone\r\nRivers - Kevin Short, bass-baritone\r\nGrayson - Kevin Korth, baritone\r\nMaynard - Samuel Faustine, tenor\r\nLinford - Melody Moore, soprano","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156356420,"sku":"PTC5187050-7","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156389188,"sku":"PTC5187050-14","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156421956,"sku":"PTC5187050-15","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156454724,"sku":"PTC5187050-16","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156487492,"sku":"PTC5187050-21","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156520260,"sku":"PTC5187050-22","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741156553028,"sku":"PTC5187050-35","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741156585796,"sku":"PTC5187050-36","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741156618564,"sku":"PTC5187050-39","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741156651332,"sku":"PTC5187050-43","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741156684100,"sku":"PTC5187050-44","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57343067521348,"sku":"PTC5187050-6","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57343067554116,"sku":"PTC5187050S1443","price":32.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57343067586884,"sku":"PTC5187050S1543","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57343067619652,"sku":"PTC5187050S1639","price":38.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5187050.jpg?v=1778500951","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/ptc5187050-goodbye-mr-chips-double-album","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
