Rameau, Dardanus.

This superb recording should please both those who consider themselves "Ramistes" and those who simply enjoy pre - 19th century music. Previous recordings of Rameau have always seemed to me to be rather dull, but this one is full of energy and commitment and directed with flair.

The cast is generally a good one, and in the case of the eponymous hero, sublime, and Minkowski obtains playing of real verve from his orchestra; the choral singing is incisive throughout. The part of the heroine, Iphise, is sung by the flavour-of-the-month soprano, Véronique Gens, and she never fails to give pleasure with her lovely tone, although her manner of address does not seem to me quite distinctive enough ...

6.Massenet: Cléopâtre from: Schwann

Search : Massenet: Cléopâtre
This set has been long deleted and is difficult to find unless you are prepared to pay too much for a used copy; I was cursing myself for not having bought it when it first appeared in 1992 when I found one from David Schwartz at CDs Unlimited in London, my trusty small supplier of rarities.

It was certainly worth the wait. While the cast might not live up to that of its 1914 premier and subsequent Chicago revival (since when, owing to some rather vicious and prejudiced reviews by contemporary critics, it virtually disappeared until this Massenet festival performance in 1990), they are all, with the exception of Kathryn Harries, Francophones with beautiful voices. Harries sings in excellent French in her lustrous, smoky mezzo, and does ... Read More:
