Raphael Höhn reviews
Charpentier: Orphée aux enfers
Vox Luminis; A Nocte Temporis/Lionel Meunier, Reinoud van Mechelen, et al (Alpha Classics)
A landmark account of Charpentier’s opera
‘In both works, Charpentier’s yearning melodies and wistful harmonies are always tempered by French Baroque etiquette’, writes Kate Bolton-Porciatti. ‘Alpha Classics’s recording is luminous and detailed.’
