Synopsis
Product Description
Pelléas et Mélisande was Claude Debussy s only completed opera and the fantastical, imaginary world in which it is set, shimmers with Impressionist colour brought alive by his orchestral sound-world. The opera was first produced at Glyndebourne in 1962 as a tribute to Debussy's centenary.
The highly acclaimed cast is led by Denise Duval, the pre-eminent French soprano of the day and artistic muse of Poulenc. The renowned conductor, Vittorio Gui, had known Debussy well - indeed Debussy's stepdaughter attended the first night - and his performances attracted glowing reviews.
This recording is taken from the 1963 revival of the production and was to be the last time Artistic Director, Carl Ebert directed at Glyndebourne. Ebert worked at Glyndebourne for 30 years and of the vast body of his work, this production of Pelléas et Mélisande was considered, by many, to be his best ever. Previously unreleased recording of Pelléas et Mélisande from the 1963 Glyndebourne Festival conducted by Vittorio Gui with Denise Duval
This production was the last that Carl Ebert directed
at Glyndebourne
Recorded live at Glyndebourne in the summer of 1963
Reviews and publicity expected in national newspapers, radio and specialist music magazines
The first two Glyndebourne releases, Prokofiev s Betrothal in a Monastery and Mozart s Le nozze di Figaro, were greeted with critical acclaim
The 3 CDs are packaged as a hard bound book containing a full libretto translated from the
original language in English, Italian and German along with a commissioned article about the opera, and a synopsis in English, French and German
