Hypermnestre

Description

Rarity of Opera Hypermnestre by Charles-Hubert Gervais is the last French opera of the 18th century, here conducted by Gyorgy Vashegyi. No French opera of the time would have been complete without the generous intervention of the choir and instrumental music. Gervais sprinkles the work with a dazzling series of entertainments and festive numbers full of dances... all interpreted with great stylistic knowledge and unparalleled liveliness by the Orfeo Orchestra and Purcell Choir of Vashegyi.
