Recording of the Week, Meyerbeer's Le prophète from Mark Elder and the London Symphony Orchestra

This weird and wonderful opera about a Flanders innkeeper who is radicalised into religious extremism really catches fire on a live recording from last year's Aix-en-Provence Festival, with the London Symphony Orchestra on barnstorming form and American tenor John Osborn at the top of his game in the demanding title-role.

Recording of the Week, Delius's A Mass of Life from Sir Mark Elder and the Bergen Philharmonic

Elder's beautifully-judged approach to pacing and balance makes the strongest case possible for a score which he describes as 'Delius's magnum opus', aided by Roderick Williams on typically eloquent form in the huge central role of Zarathustra.
