Joseph Bologne (or Boulogne), Chevalier de Saint-Georges, born to a French nobleman on Guadeloupe and his Senegalese slave, was a fascinating figure, skilled as a fencer as well as a composer. He has been called the Black Mozart, but this is not fair inasmuch as Saint-Georges was a celebrated figure while Mozart was just coming onto the scene, and the "French style" of the young Mozart was at least in part Saint-Georges'. He wrote six operas, of which L'Amant Anonyme is the only one to have survived in full, and it is valuable to have this document from the life of this unique composer on recordings; this production by Chicago's Haymarket Opera Company marks the work's world recorded premiere. From the evidence here, at least, Saint-Georges was, although no Mozart, a competent opera composer. The plot, a first cousin to that of You've Got Mail, is pretty slender, but Saint-Georges' arias for the widow Léontine, who gradually catches on to what is happening with her best friend, Valcour, are never less than attractive, and Saint-Georges handles the small orchestra well, avoiding the traps that ensnare other violin composers. The dialogue is spoken, and the entire opera is repeated sans the spoken passages on a third CD. The soloists here are a mixed bag, but that just means there is room for other readings of this opera, and that may well happen if Saint-Georges continues to find his proper place in the repertory.
