Massenet: Don César de Bazan (1888 Version)
Jules Massenet’s first full-length opera is little known today, but amply demonstrates the French composer’s prodigious talents. Don César de Bazan is an opéra-comique on a Spanish theme best known today for its Sevillana, a soprano showpiece. Ensemble Aedes and Les Frivolités Parisiennes’ recording is conducted by Mathieu Romano and features a cast headed by Laurent Naouri and Elsa Dreisig.
