Massenet (1842-1912)
Description:
The World’s First Recording of the “Phantom Finale”! Bernheim, Viotti, and Les Siècles Present a Masterful Performance of *Werther* This is a live recording of Jules Massenet’s opera *Werther*, performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. This highly acclaimed performance marked the first time that Marc Leroy-Caratay, one of France’s most promising young conductors, led *Les Siècles*, a period instrument orchestra that plays French instruments from the early 20th century. The cast features Benjamin Bernheim—widely regarded as one of today’s finest singers—as Werther, Marina Viotti as Charlotte, and Jean-Sébastien Bou as Albert. Viotti was born in Lausanne in 1986. Coming from a musical family—her father is the renowned conductor Marcello Viotti and her brother is the popular conductor Lorenzo Viotti—she fully showcases her rich expressiveness. Based on Goethe’s *The Sorrows of Young Werther*, this masterpiece depicts the tragedy of a love triangle with the delicate lyricism characteristic of French opera, and is also known as an important work that paved the way for Debussy’s *Pelléas et Mélisande*. The crystal-clear sound of Les Siècles, combined with the masterful performances by Bernheim, Viotti, and Bou, is simply breathtaking. Furthermore, this recording features the world’s first inclusion of the vocal passages from the final act that Massenet later removed, making it a precious album that allows listeners to experience the work in its original form. “Everyone should hear Benjamin Bernheim’s *Werther* at least once in their lifetime.” —*Le Monde* “Delicacy and attention to detail permeate the entire work. Benjamin Bernheim and Marina Viotti elevate this opera, based on Goethe’s story, to a delicate masterpiece.” —*Die Presse* “Benjamin Bernheim has now established himself as the definitive modern-day *Werther*.” —*ResMusica* CMAJOR
