My review of Rossini's Petite Messe Solonelle from Basel Madrigal Choir is here.
Some moments of fine choral singing rather let down by the solo singing.
And my review of Ne me refuse pas, a programme of French 19th century operatic arias (including some interesting lesser known items) from Canadian mezzo-soprano Marie-Nicole Lemieux is here. Both reviews are on MusicWeb International.
A fine disc notable not only for some very fine singing but also for an intelligent and well put together programme.
