Locke’s List for 2023: Notable Operatic Recordings Plus
[…] Auber’s work is particularly fascinating for this reason, since opera lovers can hear another composer’s very capable and sometimes quite individual responses to the same sequence of dramatic events. It helps that Patrick Kabongo, a young tenor from the Democratic Republic of Congo (and now a French citizen) is on hand, embodying the peasant lad who finally realizes that he is worth being loved for his own merits.

Schubert: Trout Quintet (CD review)
[…] sensitive rendering of a well-worn classic. The couplings for the “Trout” are a selection of Schubert’s waltzes for string quintet (arranged by Olivier Dejours), performed by the Thymos Quartet and violinist Ann-Sophie Le Roi; and an additional selection of seven landler (German moderately slow folk dances that preceded the waltz), performed by pianist Jean-Frederic Neuburger. The waltzes are a total delight and impressed me more than anything else on the disc. Producer and engineer Francois Eckert recorded the music at Salle de repetition SR1 and Amphitheatre- Cite de la musique, Philharmonie de Paris, France in May 2016 and September 2019.
