A Solid French Recital, July 15, 2001
This review is from: Marilyn Horne - Recital (Audio CD)
This is a very good mixture of familiar and unfamiliar arias and Marilyn Horne is still in fine voice at this date (1985). My only quibble is the relatively short timing which seems to afflict other items in this series such as Berganza singing Haydn (also an excellent disc). If you are looking for the full glory of Horne's voice a recital of Handel arias also on Erato from 83 or so is now deleted but keep an eye out for it. Now available for under 6 bucks are two volumes of live excerpts on Gala in very good sound (for "pirate" recordings) one of which has a drop dead 20 minutes or so of Les Troyens.
