Rossini & Donizetti: French Bel Canto Arias

Lisette Oropesa

Opera - Released July 10, 2022 | PentaTone

Hi-Res Booklet
Cuban-born American soprano Lisette Oropesa is a newcomer to the world of opera singers, releasing an album devoted to the French operas of Rossini and Donizetti. Unusually, she was thrust into the public eye when a member of the audience sang an excerpt from La Traviata with her during a recital at the Verdi Festival in Parma, Italy, in 2021. The video immediately went viral around the world.The young singer has become a real star since her debut at the MET in New York, where she played Susanna in The marriage of Figaro at the age of 22, and then went on to receive great success at the Paris Opera in Abduction from the Seraglio (Konstanze), Rigoletto (Gilda) and The Barber of Seville (Rosina). She dedicates this brilliant recital with the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra (conducted by Corrado Rovaris) to the ‘Grande Boutique’, the nickname given by Verdi to the Paris Opera.There are excerpts from Rossini's Siège de Corinthe, Guillaume Tell and Comte Ory alongside Donizetti’s Les Martyrs, Lucia di Lammermoor and La Fille du regiment. The latter concludes the album with his famous Salut à la France, which was patriotically performed on bank holiday evenings on the 14th of July in many French opera houses. At the Metropolitan Opera in New York on 28th December 1940 – the start of the German occupation – this aria was sung by Lily Pons and followed by La Marseillaise (the French national anthem) sung by soloists and chorus. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Charles Gounod : Cinq-Mars

Ulf Schirmer

Classical - Released May 20, 2016 | Bru Zane

Hi-Res Booklet
Cinq-Mars is an 1877 opera by Charles Gounod, written a dozen years after his last big hit, Roméo et Juliette. It's based on a historical novel by Alfred de Vigny about the Marquis of Cinq-Mars, a nobleman who attempted to rally resistance to Cardinal Richelieu and in 1642 was executed for his pains. The work harks back to the tradition of French grand opera and was never very successful. It fell into a series of numbers at a time when audiences were getting a taste of a different way of doing things, not just from Germany, but from Verdi also. But it does contain numbers that show Gounod's undiminished melodic gift: sample the "Cavatine" of the Princess Marie Gonzaga, the linchpin of the wholly fictitious romantic subplot added by Gounod and his librettists. Marie is sung by Véronique Gens, who leads a cast of uniformly strong singers, and this live performance, with the Munich Radio Orchestra and Bavarian Radio Choir under the direction of Ulf Schirmer, has plenty of energy. The recording is available in a sumptuous hardback package with beautiful classic design; the event may not live up to the presentation, but the idea, as a counterweight to the instant reproducibility of art in the Internet age, is a good one.© TiVo

George Dandin: La grotte de Versailles

Marguerite Louise

Classical - Released October 9, 2020 | Château de Versailles Spectacles

Hi-Res Booklet
Recorded just before lockdown in 2020, the album “La Grotte de Versailles” mixes Lully’s music written for Philippe Quinault’s libretto with a particularly cruel comedy by Molière.
It was recorded in the Crusade Rooms set up by Louis-Philippe in the Château de Versailles around 1845 to pay tribute to the nobility after upheavals from the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Love doesn’t triumph in Georges Dandin and marriage is viewed more like a market where feelings don’t come into play. This gritty comedy-ballet was created in Versailles in 1668 for the Great Royal Entertainment, a party held by Louis XIV to celebrate the peace treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle that brought the war between France and Spain to a close. This album precedes a huge theatrical project by the Ensemble Marguerite Louise conducted by Gaétan Jarry. Featuring actors dressed in refined outfits by Christian Lacroix, the project will be directed by Michel Fau who is accustomed to nightmarish stage productions. The coronavirus pandemic has only added to the nightmare, forcing the programme to be postponed until 2021. This brilliant recording gives us a taster of the shows that will be held next year in Versailles, Compiègne and many other places. © François Hudry/Qobuz
