Gounod: Faust

Kiri te Kanawa (Marguerite), Francisco Araiza (Faust), Evgeny Nesterenko (Méphistophélès), Andreas Schmidt (Valentin), Pamela Coburn (Siébel), Marjana Lipovsek (Marthe), Gilles Cachemaille (Wagner)

Symphonie-Orchester und chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Colin Davis

A deeply sympathetic reading of Gounod's score. Araiza is best as Faust the lover; Te Kanawa might not sparkle as brightly as her jewels, but Nesterenko oozes wicked charm.

This release includes a digital booklet
