Gounod: Faust
Verreau, Sutherland, Cross, Opthof, Elkins; Bonynge
1965
$9.95
Description:
German theaters often retitled Gounod’s Faust as Margarethe to distinguish it from Goethe’s original and shift the dramatic focus. With Joan Sutherland in the role, the decision feels more than justified. Her commanding vocal presence draws attention from her first entrance, transforming Marguerite from a passive figure into a character of considerable strength and nuance. Sutherland’s singing is both sumptuous and purposeful, illuminating the emotional trajectory of the role with precision and poise. In her hands, Marguerite becomes less a symbol and more a fully realized tragic heroine.
