Rousset’s directorship, while suitably regal, is metrically fluid and pushes soloists and choir to rhetorical and dramatic extremes. Among the solo singers, soprano Deborah Cachet stands out... — More…

Farinelli - A Portrait
Live in Bergen
Ann Hallenberg (mezzo-soprano)
Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset
Hallenberg is a force of nature, in stark contrast to the synthetic singing of the film, for which sound engineers fuse a mezzo with a male alto voice. Hallenberg’s voice is unmistakably her... — More…

Frescobaldi: Toccate e partite d’intavolatura di cimbalo, libro primo
Christophe Rousset (harpsichord)

Stravinsky: Les Noces (1919) - Ravel: Bolero
RecommendedEnsemble Aedes, Les Siècles, Mathieu Romano

Liszt: Orchestral Songs
Sunhae Im (soprano), Thomas Hampson (baritone), Orchester Wiener Akademie, Martin Haselböck
Thomas Hampson shoulders the lion’s share of the songs, and if vocally the result is a little uneven, there’s no gainsaying his clarion command, exemplary diction and perceptive narration. — More…

Schubert (Un)finished
Symphony No. 7 in B flat major (D 759), Lieder with orchestra
Florian Boesch (bass-baritone)
Concentus Musicus Wien, Stefan Gottfried
I’m still in two minds as to how well this completion of Schubert’s score (fleshed out with a reupholstered scherzo and an en’tracte from Rosamunde) hangs together, but the poise and lyricism... — More…

Salieri: Tarare
Cyrille Dubois (Tarare), Jean-Sebastian Bou (Sultan Altar), Karine Deshayes (Astasie)
Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset
The title-role is given a strong identity by Cyrille Dubois’s bright little tenor. His wife Astasie is vibrantly delineated by soprano Karine Deshayes. Atar’s endless villainy is vividly presented... — More…
