Grétry: Raoul Barbe Bleue: - André Grétry [CD]

Marvellous and medieval universes meet in this drama based on Perrault's tale that announces, both through its writing and its inherent horror, the upcoming musical romanticism. Indeed, far from being an archetype of the genre, 'Raoul Barbe-bleue' depicts a cruel gentry from a quite political point of view, that it even dares to mock by mingling tragical register and comic effects. Recorded in the beautiful theatre in Trondheim (Norway) with a brilliant cast under Martin Wahlberg's direction, 'Raoul Barbe-bleue' reveals a considerable richness that will certainly strike both the neophyte and the specialist.
