Listen to a Sample:

Carol Neblett emerges from this performance as the stand-out star, delivering the rarest of all things: a Marguerite who can execute the coloratura in the Jewel song as brilliantly as the dramatic singing in the final trio (and everything in between.)
Nicholas di Virgilio brings an ease of production and impeccable sense of French style to the role of Faust.
It is worth highlighting the Valentin of Thomas Jamerson. Jamerson was a regular of the US regional opera scene in the 1970s and consistently delivered impeccably sung performances worthy of the greatest opera houses of the world.
