Julien Behr/Vannina Santoni/Alexandre Duhamel/Les Siècles/François-Xavier Roth(Harmonia Mundi)Period instruments and French voices add an extra dimension to François-Xavier Roth’s recording “Pelléas is a one-off”, says François-Xavier Roth in the sleeve notes to his new recording, “The first exemplar of what opera was to become in the 20th and 21st centuries and of what it can no longer be”. As one of the turning points in the evolution of opera, Debussy’s masterpiece is already very well represented on disc, but Roth’s performance, which stems from a production at Opéra de Lille last year, differs from all its predecessors by having the period instruments of Les Siècles in the pit. In an opera whose drama depends so much on the minutest nuances of the word-setting and the web of orchestral motifs underpinning it, the use of gut strings and turn-of-the-20th-century woodwind and brass adds an extra dimension to the expressive palette.

Soprano Jeanine De Bique, from Trinidad and Tobago, has built her career on Mozart and Haendel, which has made her one of the reference performers of these composers today. In her recently released first album, Mirrors, she puts into perspective Haendel heroines with another version of who they can be in some other composers’ works of the same period.

Anglais - Joyce El-Khoury: “Our voices are designed to share music with the world”
After studying at the University of Ottawa and the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia, Joyce El-Khoury graduated from the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. She made her world debut at Lorin Maazel’s Castleton Festival in 2010, where she brilliantly replaced one of her colleagues in the title role of Puccini’s Suor Angelica, following a performance of Gianni Schicchi. We were thrilled by her portrayal of Imogene in Bellini’s Il Pirata at the Opéra National de Bordeaux in 2017, so it was clear to us that we wanted her back in France. Good news! Her Tosca debut took place at the Opéra de Lille for a video performance that was broadcast in early June on the opera house’s YouTube channel and on several screens throughout the Lille region. We had a nice chat with this highly sought-after singer a few minutes after her second stage recording of Tosca. She discussed […]
