is what Hoelterhoff called Chausson's 1903 "Le Roi Arthus" in a review
of the 1987 Erato recording, and she was right on the mark, especially
when it comes to the "T&I duet" that takes up half of Act 2 - it's really
gorgeous. Somewhat belatedly <G>, I just came across the CD, picking
it up when I spotted Winbergh's name; he is Lancelot and another great
favorite of mine, Zylis-Gara, sings Guenievre.
Those two sing the big duet with amazing grace... and power. Gino
Quilico is a fine Arthur, but perhaps the best thing about this performance
is Armin Jordan's direction of the Nouvel Orchestre Philharmonique. If
you come across the album in a library or at a garage sale, grab it.
