Some of the most famous scenes in the Romantic opera repertoire, revisited by two outstanding soloists, in an unusual instrumental combination (oboe and harp) that is nevertheless perfectly in keeping with the opera house. Alongside the evergreen 'Meditation' from 'Thaïs', Céline Moinet and Sarah Christ have assembled a multitude of composers and works to produce a programme that is sheer enchantment.
"[Moinet] has compiled her visiting card with considerable ingenuity and a minimum of barrel-scraping...[She] is flawless throughout: her sound is a delight, her techique impeccable and her stamina - especially in Pasculli - superhuman...Oboe, harp and recording are here all perfect: this is a joyous and frankly outstanding disc." (International Record Review)
