‘So Romantique !’ illustrates the ‘profoundly sentimental’ side of French opera from the 1830s to the 1900s, which gradually came to be judged overwrought and was condemned to partial oblivion. ‘I am convinced that this is because the principals of interpretation were lost’, says the tenor Cyrille Dubois.

A glorious celebration of 'the Dutch nightingale': all of Elly Ameling's song-recital albums for Philips are being released by Universal Music!

Here is "6 - Collector's Edition", which includes not only a DVD of the entire formidable show given by Elsa at the Salle Pleyel on October 15, 2022 but also 5 completely new titles including a duet in English with the American actor Bradley Cole.

Isabelle Adjani est ce que l'on peut appeler une icône du cinéma français. Avec ses cinq César (un record), elle ne cesse de confirmer son statut de star ultime, en France mais aussi à l'étranger. Longtemps, trop longtemps, on a attendu l'album d'Isabelle Adjani. Après son légendaire voyage avec Serge Gainsbourg, du fond de la piscine jusqu'au sommet du top, elle a entrepris de travailler avec le casting le plus vertigineux de l'époque : Benjamin Biolay, Etienne Daho, Gaëtan Roussel, Seal, Simon Le Bon, Christophe, Akhenaton, Daniel Darc, Philippe Pascal, David Sylvian, Youssou N'Dour et Peter Murphy.

The injustices of history are made to be redressed. Here a cast of international singers, under the dynamic direction of Gergely Madaras, devotes itself with conviction to the task of reviving one of the forgotten glories of French Romantic opera. Hulda, completed in 1885, was never staged in César Franck's lifetime.

The Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and conductor Carlo Montanaro present a powerful interpretation of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca, together with a cast of soloists including Melody Moore (Tosca), Ștefan Pop (Cavaradossi) and Lester Lynch (Scarpia). Tosca has been an audience favourite from the onset. Premiered in 1900, it marks the beginning of twentieth- century opera, in which sex, violence and the uncanny abysses of the human psyche would be explored, inspiring composers to expand the musical means of expression in all thinkable ways.

Hervé Niquet lässt Ariane et Bacchus (1696) wieder auferstehen, wobei er zum ersten Mal die exakte Besetzung und Aufstellung des Orchesters der Pariser Oper von 1700 verwendet und uns somit eine historisch informierte Version dieser Tragédie en musique von Marin Marais liefert. Marin Marais wurde 1676 Gambenspieler an der Académie Royale de Musique, als sein Mentor Lully mit seinem Werk Atys dort einen großen Erfolg feierte.

One of the legendary moments in Callas’ career came in 1950 in Mexico City, when she interpolated a stupendous top E flat at the end of the Triumphal Scene in Act II of Aida.

The fame and legacy of Maria Callas are nearly unsurpassed in the modern history of opera. Her fame has transcended the usual boundaries of classical music, and she has been the inspiration for several movies as well as the successful Broadway play "Master Class." Her extensive catalogue of recordings remains among the most coveted and controversial for both her fans and detractors. Though American by birth, Callas (born Maria Anne Sofia Cecilia Kalogeropoulos) was born of Greek parents, and at age 13 her mother took her back to Greece because of financial difficulties caused by the Great Depression.
