$9.95
Description:
Régine Crespin brings sumptuous tone and commanding presence to the title role, anchoring the performance with emotional depth and vocal allure. She opens the evening with a stirring rendition of “La Marseillaise,” setting a tone of solemnity and grandeur. Guy Chauvet makes a compelling Ulysse, balancing nuance with vocal heft, and contributing powerfully to the work’s dramatic structure.
Though the opera itself may not be among the most cohesive in the repertoire, this performance makes a strong case for its merits. The sound quality in this stereo recording enhances the experience.
