My review of an archive recording of Ambroise Thomas' Mignon from the Met is here.
The
performance does little justice to Thomas’s Mignon. Only
of real interest to lovers of the art of Rise Stevens.
And a review of the new disc from Voces8, Choral Tapestry, is here. Both are on MusicWeb International.
Puzzling,
frustrating and mesmerising.
