Synopsis

Album Description
This is the first studio-recording of the original opera-comique version of Cherubini's masterpiece. It is note-complete, the dialogue is unabridged, spurious high notes are expurgated, and has a period-instrument orchestra. It is based on the heavily-stylized Opera Quotannis production, which was conducted by Bart Folse and directed by Brian Morgan, and was seen at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, in the spring of 1997.

"Non of the singers are up to the challenge of their parts. The orchestra on original instruments sounds dull and uninspired. Great opera, but this recording does the music no justice."
