Cherubini

Boult in spirited form in his twilight years: no let-up in authority from the doyen of British conductors [JW]

Callas’ stereo studio Medea gets the Pristine XR treatment [PT]

A valuable addition to the Popper discography and a chance to hear a Hubay rarity [RCh]

Pristine’s revitalising of the sound here goes a long way towards countering any criticism of Callas’ sole studio recording of Medea [RMo]

(Déjà Review) A mouth-watering cast gives a memorable performance [CF]

This recording is an established classic, and should be in every decent opera collection, especially in this newest incarnation [GF]

(Déjà Review) The set should be heard for its documentation of an extraordinary musical meeting [CH]

Ten very well-filled discs documenting six glorious decades at the Paris Opera [RMo]

For me, the two outer tracks alone make this anthology of final scenes compulsory [RMo]

This first studio recording of Cherubini’s Les Abencérages is especially valuable [MC]
