La Damnation De Faust: Opera Royal (Francois-Xavier Roth) (2018)

There are some works which seem to be suspended in their time. 'La Damnation de Faust' is a visionary project which took decades to become known as a chef-d’ oeuvre, firstly in the rest of Europe and then in France, but posthumously. Today it is an emblematic work, built up anthological pieces for orchestra and choir and soloist’s airs which remain in our memories. Its interpretation by Francois-Xavier Roth in concert version enables to hear this work with the force and the audacity of early Berlioz: sombre but brilliant.
