Don Quichotte (Blu-ray), C Major, Music & Performance

The "striking interpretation" (Neue Musikzeitung) of Jules Massenet's operatic rarity Don Quichotte at Bregenz Festival, received an "unanimous jubilation for director Mariame Clément, her outfitter Julia Hansen and the entire stage team: a typical Bregenz Festival orchid flourished!" (Neue Musikzeitung Online). But this opera is also a musical discovery, not least because of the outstanding cast: "the balsamic sound of well-being of Gábor Bretz, David Stouts mobile Sancho Panza is also wonderfully shaded (Salzburger Nachrichten) and "Anna Goryachova impresses as Dulcinée with vocal clarity and scenic presence". (Wiener Zeitung) "The Bregenz Festival discovers a dreamlike operatic beauty full of melancholy and farewell" (Salzburger Nachrichten)
