Ensemble

Composer

Remarks:

"This new recording is interesting partly for the casting of a mezzo-soprano in the title role. Anyone wondering about this aspect should worry no further: Joyce DiDonato triumphs completely... When DiDonato, Beaumont and Gauvin are centre-stage, though, the drama gels, and it's exciting." -MusicalCriticism.com
