Kiri at her best

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This album of arias contains some expected and some unexpected delights. In addition to the sumptuous "Depuis le jour" which is a favourite vehicle for lyric sopranos, Kiri does a very respectabe interpretation of "D'amour l'ardante flame" from Berlioz "légende dramatique"La Damnation de Faust which was composed for the mezzo-soprano voice thanks to the exceptionally beautiful middle range of her voice. Another of my favorites in the collection is her interpretation of an aria from Verdi's Don carlo which is usually heard in Italian translation but work a lot better here in the original French.
This is a classic recording and should not be overlooked by Kiri fans or any fans of French opera."
