May Festival CD: James Conlon, music director of the Cincinnati May Festival, is slated to make the world premiere recording of Liszt's oratorio, St. Stanislaus, with the May Festival Chorus, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, mezzo-soprano Kristin Jepson and baritone Donnie Ray Albert in the days following the May Festival next month. The recording, Conlon's first for Telarc, will be released in early 2004.

On May 23, Conlon and the May Festival will give the premiere of the first and last scenes of the oratorio, left unfinished at Liszt's death in 1886.
