Absolutely stunning....I can't think of any other words to describe either the music or the performance. Bonynge had immersed himself in Massenet's compositions and it really shows here. The Decca sound is excellent, as to be expected from their engineering. That Decca sleeve has a late 1960s/early 1970s look about it, Bonynge clearly presented as the poster-boy of the conducting world!
Phänomenal da sind ja die phantastischen Ballettmusiken aus Massenet,s Opern toll man sollte diese Werke komplett auf die Bühne bringen auch in Deutschland oder Salzburg sind sie allemal wert
I admire Bonynge for bringing so much obscure music back, and having a real love of it. I am always glad to hear more Massenet whom I love.
The melodrama movement ( 2nd) is just an astonishing 😲❤.

Max, I always smile when I see 'Roi Malcolm'
Max Merry -- Yes....it's simple Gorgeous!
Quite beautiful music and sensitive performance.
When it comes to Massenet, few can compete with Richard Bonynge.
