Massenet: Thérèse

Beschreibung

Product Description Jules Massenet constantly renewed his style. Toward the end of his life he turned to experimental forms of expression that are astonishing even today. Combining a marked taste for the late 18th century with a very modern use of naturalism, These shows both immediacy in it's dramatic discourse and lyricism in it's emotional expression, thus greatly deepening the strength and poignancy of the subject. Review While I have a fondness for [the 1970s Decca recording], this new release is its equal. --Neil Crory, Opera Canada
