Berlioz: Les Troyens à Carthage (In English) - Baker, Dowd, Rouleau, Thomas, Howard; Gibson, Glasgow, 1969
$8.95
Description:
Although it's become increasingly rare to hear the two parts of Les Troyens performed separately, this performance makes a strong case for that approach. While Cassandra’s dramatic scenes are missed, the reward is a complete, uncut presentation of Les Troyens à Carthage—a rarity that proves there’s not a weak number in Berlioz’s entire score. Janet Baker brings stature, warmth, and deep tragedy to Dido, capturing the queen’s nobility and heartbreak with arresting emotional clarity. The sound is excellent.
