There are a few cuts in this performance (the ballet music in a trimmed early on), but not nearly as many as were taken at the Met about this time. All of the singers are very good and grapple well with Berlioz's tremendous score. Guy Chauvet is a fine Enee. He has no difficulty with the high tessitura and knocks out the part's one top C effortlessly. I liked Gisela Schroter more than Andy did. She has a solid, strong voice and handles Cassandra's music with precision and care. Perhaps she doesn't have the slightly manic delivery of other interpretors as she comes off a little relaxed at times. Evelyn Lear is the real surprise here, Didon's music sitting in the best part of her range. She comes across as regal and glamorous with a surfeit of emotion hiding just beneath the surface. No wonder her people love her so much.The rest of the cast is excellent with Jaime Bauro a stand-out in Hylas's elegiac, mournful song. Michelle Vilma sings Anna's low notes very well and it's always a pleasure to hear the underrated John Macurdy in anything. Albert Voli is good as Iopas though he ducks the high C in his beautiful aria. John Nelson has been a Berlioz champion for years and presents a precise, romantic performance of this opera. The chorus and orchestra are also very strong.Andy describes the sound as very good and he is more than correct: it is excellent throughout the performance. If you love Les Troyens, this is for you!
