This release is part of a
Berlioz
series by conductor
John Nelson
and the
Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg
, but it is the soloists who shine here. Tenor
Michael Spyres
, who is really hitting his stride, has a voice pleasantly suited to French music, rounded and subtle, but there is more;
suggested that several singers perform the orchestral song cycle
Les nuits d'ete, Op. 7
, but
Spyres
takes all the songs himself. Moreover, he does them in the original keys, which is rarer still. This calls for a singer with exceptional control of dynamic extremes in different parts of his range, and
is exceptionally flexible in this regard. There is a confidence and nonchalance to this performance that grows on the listener as the performance proceeds, even as the sound engineering puts
too far front and center to the detriment of the orchestra's contributions. This isn't so pronounced in the anti-concerto
Harold en Italie, Op. 16
, and here again, there is a standout soloist;
Timothy Ridout
offers a rich sound and a real narrative quality that seems to evoke the score's source in
Lord Byron
's long poem. This exceptionally satisfying
album hit best-seller charts in late 2022. ~ James Manheim
