Faust (Abridged)
Great Operatic Arias
Elizabeth Futral

Gramophone

'... there is much to enjoy here, especially in the French items where Futral's whitish tone sounds idiomatic, her high notes even tending towards the slight shrillness associated with the French coloratura.'
BBC Music Magazine

Pick of the Month

'A new recording of Gounod's war-horse offers a fine cast, a singable translation and an unusually full score.'
The Guardian

'This is the finest issue yet in this enterprising series... rarely has the refinement of Gounod's orchestration come out so vividly'.
Great Operatic Arias - Sir Thomas Allen

American Record Guide
'Allen's singing is a joy in itself... he commands the clean style for the French numbers.'
Faust
Valentin's Aria
'Even the bravest heart may swell'

Romeo and Juliet

Siebel's Flower Song
'Summer flowers so fair...'

The Sunday Telegraph
'Her singing is lustrous and stylish... A lovely disc.'
Faust (Abridged)

American Record Guide

'... the conversational passages are rendered with such verbal clarity that their dramatic immediacy is greatly enhanced. The best of the principals is Miles, whose rich bass easily encompasses all the notes. Diana Montague is a fine Siebel.'
