Bizet: Symphony in C; Patrie; Jeux d'enfants; Carmen Suites Nos. 1 & 2

Bizet: Symphony in C; Patrie; Jeux d'enfants; Carmen Suites Nos. 1 & 2 (2004) more music like this

performed by Orchestre National de France, Seiji Ozawa (conductor)
composed by Georges Bizet

A respectable budget reissue, this 2004 compilation of Bizet favorites is just what it should be -- intelligently conducted by Seiji Ozawa, solidly performed by the Orchestre National de France, and decently recorded by EMI. The disc's only failings are slight ones: the early digital reproduction is occasionally unfocused and the ambience of the ...

Berlioz: Benvenuto Cellini

Berlioz: Benvenuto Cellini (2004) more music like this

performed by Eric Huchet (tenor), Eric Salha (tenor), Gregory Kunde (tenor), Jean Francois Lapointe (baritone), Joyce DiDonato (mezzo-soprano), Laurent Naouri (baritone), Marc Mauillon (baritone), Patrizia Ciofi (soprano), Renaud Delaigue (bass)
composed by Hector Berlioz

Sometimes it's hard to understand why a work as entertaining as Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini isn't more popular. It's brilliantly orchestrated, fun, filled with good tunes and vivid, if stock, characters. But it's too-challenging-by-half for comedy, and too-light-by-half for grand opera, occupying a gray area between the two genres in which only a ...

Stephan: Die Ersten Menschen

Stephan: Die Ersten Menschen (2007) more music like this

performed by Donnie Albert (baritone), Franz Hawlata (bass), Nancy Gustafson (soprano), Sarah Nemtaru (violin), Wolfgang Millgramm (tenor), Orchestre National de France, Mikko Franck (conductor)
composed by Rudi Stephan

If even the best-informed opera lover is not aware of Rudi Stephan's Die Ersten Menschen, there's a good reason for it, and it has nothing to do with the music. The libretto, based on the "erotic mystery" by Otto Borngräber, merges religiosity with sexuality to an extent that would have made Gabriele D'Annunzio blanch. The plot concerns the ...

Berio: Sinfonia; Eindrücke

Berio: Sinfonia; Eindrücke more music like this

performed by Regis Pasquier (violin), Swingle Singers, Orchestre National de France
composed by Luciano Berio

Berio's Sinfonia is a gloss on music history, modern literature, and the late '60s cultural milieu. Despite the presence of the Zeitgeist, it does not sound as dated today as other contemporaneous works do in hindsight. The piece's dovetailed references and quotations have meanings that extend beyond their use as a commentary on the times. The ...

Poulenc: Gloria; Stabat Mater (2006) more music like this

performed by Barbara Hendricks (soprano), French Radio Choir (choir, chorus), Orchestre National de France, Georges Prêtre (conductor)
composed by Francis Poulenc

Understandably, Poulenc's Gloria and Stabat Mater have almost invariably been coupled together on LPs and CDs. Similarly scored for solo soprano, chorus, and orchestra, the two works are arguably the twin peaks of Poulenc's sacred music, that is, they are irresistibly melodic, energetically rhythmic, directly emotional, conservatively harmonic, ...

Shostakovich: Violin Concertos (2006) more music like this

composed by Dmitry Shostakovich

It's probably unfair to compare Sergey Khachatryan's 2006 recording of Shostakovich's violin concertos accompanied by Kurt Masur leading the Orchestre National de France with David Oistrakh's classic recordings of the works: the 1956 Mitropoulos/New York Philharmonic First and the 1967 Kondrashin/ Moscow Philharmonic Second. Not only was Oistrakh ...
