Product Information

Editor's Choice Award from
Gramophone Magazine. Leon Botstein returns with another rarely heard opera jewel. Chausson's Le Roi Arthus on Telarc features Andrew Schroeder as Arthus, Susan Bullock as Genièvre, Simon O'Neill as Lancelot, François Le Roux as Merlin and the Apollo Voices under the leadership of chorus master Stephen Betteridge.

Hardly an unknown composer, Ernest Chausson (1855-1899) is mainly known for his smaller works—vocal and chamber music, or sometimes a combination of the two. He will always be prized by those who love Debussy, Fauré, Duparc and Ravel. Indeed his Poème de l'amour et de la mer and the
Concerto for piano, violin and string quartet stand apart from the work of his major contemporaries, and in some respects surpass it.

Chausson labored on Le Roi Arthus for more than a decade and shared the work with his friend, Claude Debussy, who eagerly listened and liberally dispensed advice. Debussy even worked an allusion to Chausson's project into the fabric of Pelléas et Mélisande. (concordmusicgroup. com)

Rezensionen

Stereo 11/05: »Ein Gesamtkunstwerk, das eine mit feinen französischen Klangreizen und deutschen Elementen eingefärbte Musik trägt. Susan Bullock als Genievre und Liebhaber Lancelot (Simon O'Neill) lassen ihr Tete a Tete in bestrickenden Farben leuchten.«
