REVIEW:
Alejandro Marco?Buhrmester succeeds in evoking our sympathy in ‘Au sein de la puissance’. The lovers sing tenderly; but what stands out in their Act 2 duet is some exquisite phrasing in the strings. Dramatic conviction is hampered by—how to put it?—Henri’s less than heroic appearance. There are a few cuts, including the cabaletta of Procida’s ‘Et toi, Palerme’, but it’s a worthwhile addition to the modest number of French grand operas on DVD.
