Studio: Dynamic Subtitle Language: French, English, Italian, German, Dutch, Korean Certificate: Unrated Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION World premiere recording! Cesar Franck's first opera - staged for the first time! Known mainly for the few transcendent, harmonically adventurous instrumental works of his later years, Cesar Franck's first opera was composed when he was barely twenty years of age. Orchestrated by composer Luc Van Hove, from the autographic piano score manuscript. Paolo Arrivabeni conducts the Orchester & Chorus of the Opera Royal de Wallonie. Stage direction by Jaco van Dormael.
REVIEW The staging is beautiful, though at times puzzling - a giant wading pool is the perfect setting for Venice flooded during the Carnival, but it makes less sense as the action moves to a church in Rome. Regardless of the dramatic choices in this production, the music of Franck and beautiful singing by Marc Laho as Stradella make this disc a keeper. --Wholenote, April 2014
