Fauré: Requiem - Poulenc: Figure Humaine - Debussy: 3 Chansons
Ensemble Aedes, Les Siècles, Mathieu Romano, Mathieu Dubroca, Sébastien Richaud, Roxane Chalard
Anyone who sees [the Fauré] as primarily consolatory is likely to be brought up sharp by the opening, where Les Siècles’ brass and strings sound severe to the point of austerity, and the first... — More…

Farinelli - A Portrait
Live in Bergen
Ann Hallenberg (mezzo-soprano)
Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset
Hallenberg is a force of nature, in stark contrast to the synthetic singing of the film, for which sound engineers fuse a mezzo with a male alto voice. Hallenberg’s voice is unmistakably her... — More…

Christophe Rousset (harpsichord)

Corelli: Concerti Grossi & Sinfonia to Santa Beatrice d’Este
Gottfried von der Goltz (violin and director)
Freiburger Barockorchester

RecommendedEnsemble Aedes, Les Siècles, Mathieu Romano
Hearing Stravinsky’s long-desired but originally unfulfilled version of Les Noces – so compellingly realised between Verbey and these fine musicians – is worth the price of entry alone. — More…

Schubert (Un)finished
Symphony No. 7 in B flat major (D 759), Lieder with orchestra
Florian Boesch (bass-baritone)
Concentus Musicus Wien, Stefan Gottfried
I’m still in two minds as to how well this completion of Schubert’s score (fleshed out with a reupholstered scherzo and an en’tracte from Rosamunde) hangs together, but the poise and lyricism... — More…

The title-role is given a strong identity by Cyrille Dubois’s bright little tenor. His wife Astasie is vibrantly delineated by soprano Karine Deshayes. Atar’s endless villainy is vividly presented... — More…
