Product Description
Vladimir Cosma's
Marius et Fanny
An international cast brought together Roberto Alagna, an impetuous
Marius in fine vocal fettle, Angela Gheorghiu, a juvenile and moving
Fanny, Jean-Philippe Lafont, an imperious and debonnaire Cesar, and
Marc Barrard, poignant and remarkable in every way as Panisse. All the
secondary roles were played with authority, notably by Isabelle Vernet
(Honorine), Eric Huchet (Escartefigue) , Bruno Comparetti (Monsieur
Brun) and Antoine Garcin (Piquoiseau) . Representing the people of
Marseille's Vieux Port, the choir fulfilled its mission in the quality
of its commentary on the action. The young Canadian conductor, Jacques
Lacombe, gets credit as an architect of the evening's success,
providing a passionate reading of the score that brought out the
beauty of the melodies and the splendor of the orchestration. The
composer and the artists earned the standing ovation at the end of the
performance.
