$8.95
Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- These days it has become rare to hear the two parts of Les Troyens performed independent of one another. I found myself missing Cassandra's big scenes, but the benefit is that it can be performed - as this performance is - without cuts. That is not always a good thing, but it turns out that there really isn't a bad number in this whole piece.
- Janet Baker brings stature, tragedy and warmth to the role of Dido.
- The sound is excellent.
Cons:
- None to mention.
