BaL 16.11.24 - Berlioz: Les nuits d'été

[vinteuil]

Back to topic, though, I much preferred what I heard of Veronique Gens' recording this morning to Jessye N (a gorgeous voice in much repertoire, but not for me here). Though again, FWIW, Balleys/Herreweghe remains my top choice - a favourite ever since I first bought it, nearly 30 years ago,

... yes, for me Gens and Balleys reign supreme.

I didn't hear the programme : which of the two Gens recordings did they consider?

It was the earlier of her two recordings, i.e. on Erato with Louis Langrée and the Lyon Opera Orchestra
