WHEN THE COMPOSER WAS STILL THERE
ALAIN ROBERT | ST-HUBERT,QUÉBEC | 06/11/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"FRENCH opéra lovers will want this very first recording made in 1935 in their collection,even if several pieces are missing.LOUISE was one of few opéras in the FRENCH répertoire in a time when PUCCINI was the most famous opéra composer.The work was supervised by the composer himself,which makes it historically interesting.Originally as you must know,it was a série of 78's and it won the grand prix du disque that year.It was considered a landmark recording at the time.DEPUIS LE JOUR is among the most recorded FRENCH aria of all time.The melody is of course in the mold of PUCCINI in it's true romantic setting.Those who would like the complete work have at least two recordings that are available;the last one with ILEANA COTRUBAS and PLACIDO DOMINGO(the cd cover is a RENOIR painting);the other one is a live recording made in the forties."
