About

In a treat for lovers of Massenet’s sumptuous music, soprano Rosamund Illing performs arias showcasing a wide range of Massenet’s perceptively drawn heroines.

Massenet’s richly melodic and exquisitely crafted scenes on Amoureuse make this recording a wonderful point of contact with this now under-rated composer, who at the peak of his popularity was the most performed opera composer living.

Richard Bonynge brings out a depth of detail and nuance from within Massenet's divinely crafted scores that gives evidence of his life’s passion for the French master. Richard Bonynge happily offers his view that, in his dramatic scenes, Massenet “can out Wagner Wagner”.

Included in the annual 'Best CDs and DVDs yearbook' from Gramophone. Critically acclaimed.

Re-released in Super Audio CD surround sound with a newly remastered CD layer. “Any lover of Romantic opera should have this disc.”

Luxuriously presented with a new cover and label artwork by Ken Cato and a revised full-colour booklet containing numerous additional illustrations.
