As Mother Goose and Baba the Turk
in The Rake's Progress
Comtesse
CM

" In the dual roles of Mother Goose and Baba the Turk, mezzo Eugenie Grunewald is irresistible, musically and dramatically. "

"Marvel emphasized the tragedy of the story while retaining the comedy of Mother Goose and Baba the Turk both deliciously played by Eugenie Grunewald."
     American Record Guide

" Eugenie Grunewald furnished chesty strength for Mother Goose’s ungrateful music; she and MacPherson romped naughtily behind an upheld sheet. Resplendently gowned by John Lehmeyer, Grunewald’s clarion Baba the Turk proved very funny but also commanded sympathy."
