The Best Recording of Mireille, July 17, 2010
This review is from: Gounod: Mireille / Borst, Paris, Vanaud, Courtis, Antoine; Diedrich (Audio CD)
I am writing this review because (to my disappointment and surprise) no one else has reviewed it. I guess my opera collection is even more comprehensive than I thought. Quite simply, this recording is the best performance of this opera I have heard, and I have listened to the others listed on Amazon. Without going into excessive detail I will just say that it is beautifully sung, beautifully conducted, absolutely convincing dramatically (which makes a huge difference when you compare it to the other recordings), and in excellent sound. You owe it to yourself to own this goody!
