Notes and Editorial Reviews
Marston continues its Pathé opera series with the release of Victor Massé’s Galathée and Les noces de Jeannette. These recordings transport us back to an era when the true French style of singing still flourished in Paris. Galathée was recorded in 1912 and featured André Gresse, Alex Jouvin, Albert Vaguet, and Jane Morlet. Émile Archainbaud conducts. Les noces de Jeannette was recorded in 1922. This recording, conducted by Laurent Halet, features the incomparable Ninon Vallin as Jeannette, and the great comic baritone Léon Ponzio as Jean. To round out this three CD set we are including important Massé interpretations by Georgette Bréjean-Silver, Suzanne Brohly, Rose Heilbronner, and others.
