Chants nostalgiques (B Records)
Fine performances of central French repertoire for voice and piano quintet, plus an intriguing rarity [RWe]
Poulenc: La voix humaine (Alpha Classics)
A new vocal standard for La Voix humaine, but no translation of the text [RWe]
Sandrine Piau (soprano) Voyage intime (Alpha Classics)
An excellent recital by a distinguished soprano [RWe]
Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen (Naxos)
An innovative and at times challenging production, with high calibre singing and playing [RWe]
Verdi: Rigoletto (Opus Arte)
A striking new Rigoletto from the Royal Opera House, strongly cast and very well conducted [RWe]
Mahler: Symphony No 5 (Recursive)
This group quite surpasses its amateur status: a very good account of a demanding score [RWe]
Donizetti: L’elisir d’amore (Dynamic)
Another impressive release by the Donizetti Opera festival, uncut and on original instruments [RWe]
Rameau: Zoroastre (Alpha)
The original version of Zoroastre, substantially different from the usually performed revision, superbly presented here [RWe]
Ravel: Orchestral Works (Ondine)
The two main works here are especially well performed, and in good sound [RWe]
