Berlioz : Les Troyens (Intégrale) Coffret

Description

With 350 musicians and singers, including two choirs, Berlioz's opera Les Troyens is one of the most gigantic works in the entire lyrical repertoire and undoubtedly the greatest romantic work in the French repertoire. This 2017 recording in its complete version by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg features an exceptional cast gathered under the passionate and committed baton of maestro John Nelson: Joyce Di Donato as Dido, Michael Spyres as Aeneas, Marie Nicole Lemieux as Cassandra, Marianne Crebassa, Stanislas de Barbeyrac, Stéphane Degout, Cyrille Dubois. Alternately epic, poetic, and intrepid, filled with flashes of brilliance, magnificent feelings of love, and driven by a keen sense of the tragic grandeur of Antiquity, Les Troyens forms a flamboyant and monumental whole.
