		Ozawa is well-partnered by Kathleen Battle and Frederica von Stade as the two faries, and they sing well in their duet and the finale, with the support of the female section of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.
		And Judi Dench is the unique selling point, with her excellent, expertly-done narration, bringing Shakespeare's words to life and adding to the strength of the links of the melodramas.
