About

An anthology of the beginning of recordings with the voices which created the operas of Jules Massenet. A fantastic document of Massenet and of a certain way of “French singing”.

These two CDs demonstrate the evolution of the art of singing Massenet from the beginning of the gramophone to our days. As a bonus we have for the first time the recording of the voice of Lucy Arbell in three songs - she was the last égérie of Massenet, who gave her a character in all his operas after Ariane.

Although all of the singers on this new 2-CD set have performed or premiered Massenet operas, they may or may not be performing their original roles on this recording. It is nevertheless a fascinating insight into this style and period of singing.
