Empfohlen für Hörer von 0 bis 99 Jahren. "Attention, attention! Unknown flying objects from another planet and creatures identified so far only as Globolinks have landed on Planet Earth. All citizens are asked to remain calm. Be on your guard. Stay tuned for further broadcasts. THE GLOBOLINKS ARE HERE!" A scene from a science fiction movie? It certainly could have been; the admonition is so familiar but, no, this is the opening spoken narrative that follows some evocative night skies, space-sweeping and reminiscent-of- schooldays orchestral music in Menotti's space-age opera for children of all ages, “Help; Help, The Globolinks”. Composed in 1968 and first performed in Hamburg, Menotti's music for “Globolinks” is appealing and accessible and often very amusing. The opera has a message that should be heeded in every school. Amusing electronics characterise the Globolinks. The opening scene has them gathering around a school bus. They are about to converge on the children when they are repulsed by the sound of the horn. The children awake and are alarmed but Tony, the bus driver, tries to comfort them. Then they learn from the bus radio that the Globolinks are at large and that they are frightened by the sound of musical instruments. However, all the children who are returning to school after their holidays, had left their instruments at school except for Emily who is persuaded to go to the school for help from the teachers, playing her violin as she goes to protect herself against the Globolinks. "Unless we keep music in our soul, a hand of steel will clasp our hearts and we shall live by clocks and dials instead of air and sun and sea. Make music with your hands, make music with your breath." (Text from the aria of Madame Euterpova, the music teacher) Composer, librettist and conductor, Gian-Carlo Menotti was born in Cadegliano in Italy in 1911 but has lived mainly in America and Scotland. He studied at Milan Conservatoire from 1924-27 and then on Toscanini's advice at the Curtis Institute where he met and formed a lifelong friendship with Samuel Barber. He has worked mainly in the field of opera and is best remembered for his opera “Amahl and the Night Visitors”. - The Original World Premiere Recording from Hamburg - Recorded in 1969, first staging of this opera was in 1968 - A fantastic story about and for children and the power of music - An Opera for children and for those still young at heart - Conducted by the composer himself - Very entertaining for the whole family.

Menotti hatte seine Globolinks-Oper damals für Kinder und solche, die Kinder lieben bestimmt. Die griffige Formel gilt noch heute. Nur würde man als Erwachsener heute sich weniger durch das seinerzeit Fortschrittliche, die elektronischen Klänge für die Außerirdischen, die Lichtspiele und bizarren kinetischen Plastiken gefangen nehmen lassen, sondern mehr durch die Rolle, die der Musik in diesem futuristischen Märchenspiel zugewiesen wird. Gegen die scheinbar unüberwindlichen Globolinks, die aus dem Weltraum auf die Erde kamen, die Menschen umzingeln und durch Berührung in Globolinks verwandeln, gibt es nur ein Gegenmittel: Musik. Das Böse wird durch schöne Musik vertrieben, und wer wie der Schuldirektor Musik hasst, der muss zur Strafe eben als Globolink weiterleben. Gian Carlo Menotti sah sich inmitten der Sänger und mitwirkenden Kinder unendlich lange und stürmisch gefeiert. Eine wunderbare Begegnung. -Das Original, aufgenommen 1969 in Hamburg, ein Jahr nach der Uraufführung.- Eine fantastische Geschichte über und für Kinder und die Kraft der Musik.-Eine Oper für Kinder und solche, die Kinder mögen.-Der Komponist dirigiert selbst.-Sehr unterhaltsam für die ganze Familie.
