Additional Information
This unique Ponto release complements what is primarily a discography of melodies and lieder by celebrating Souzay's achievement in the world of opera and concert works. With a phenomenal gift for languages, Souzay had a distinguished career on the concert platform as a soloist in many choral works - most famously the Father in Berlioz's L'Enfant du Christ. Souzay and Stokowski, two great musicians, are in excelent form in this masterpiece by Monteverdi. The bonus tracks on disc two feature him in German and French works ranging from Bach to Ravel. A real must have!!
