performed by Denyce Graves (mezzo-soprano), Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, Marc Soustrot (conductor)
composed by Ambroise Thomas, Camille Saint-Saëns, Charles Gounod, Edouard Lalo, Gaetano Donizetti, Georges Bizet, Hector Berlioz, Jules Massenet

Mezzo soprano Denyce Graves has not been enormously lucky in the realm of recording. Even as her star ascended through television exposure, sold-out recitals, and high-profile appearances in opera productions, for several years the compact disc front was strangely silent in representing Graves' artistry. In 1999 Graves signed an exclusive contract ...

Offenbach: Gaîté Parisienne; Waldteufel: Waltzes more music like this

performed by Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra
composed by Emile Waldteufel, Jacques Offenbach

If one rendition of the Offenbach/Rosenthal arrangement Gaîté Parisienne deserves the highest marks, then it has to be the extraordinary RCA release by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. However, Manuel Rosenthal's recording of the ballet with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra for EMI comes close enough to be considered as a good alternate ...

performed by Francoise Pollet (soprano), Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, Armin Jordan (conductor)
composed by Ernest Chausson, Hector Berlioz

When musicologists talk about the pervasive and pernicious Wagnerian influence in late nineteenth century French music, they're talking about César Franck, they're talking about Vincent d'Indy, but most of all they are talking about Ernest Chausson. With his massive symphony, his lyric opera Le Roi Arthus, and his song cycle Poéme de l'Amou et de ...

performed by Augustin Dumay (violin), Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, Hikotaro Yazaki (conductor)
composed by Camille Saint-Saëns, Edouard Lalo, Gabriel Fauré

This is a perfectly lovely disc of French Romantic virtuoso pieces for violin orchestra played with extraordinary sympathy and virtuosity by Augustin Dumay. Even with competition from just about every first-rank violinist since Ysaÿe, Dumay more than holds his own with the best players in terms of tone and technique, and he surpasses most of the ...

composed by George Enescu

Romanian composer George Enescu's 1931 opera Oedipe is an epic work on several levels, including its dramatic scope -- from the protagonist's birth to his death -- and in the huge performing forces it requires. It stands for the most part outside the modernist or post-Romantic operatic conventions of its time and inhabits a sound world that uses a ...
