Review by Jayme Cabral

Faust Highlights by Charles Gounod is an exceptional album that features some of the most talented and renowned performers of our time. Placido Domingo, Mirella Freni, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Thomas Allen, Michèle Command, Marc Vento, and the Orchestre National De L'Opéra De Paris and Choeur National De L'Opéra De Paris, under the direction of Jean Laforge and Georges Prêtre, have come together to deliver a stunning performance of Gounod's masterpiece.

Each track on the album is a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing the incredible range and depth of the performers' talents. Placido Domingo's powerful tenor voice is particularly impressive, as is Mirella Freni's emotive and nuanced soprano. Nicolai Ghiaurov's bass voice is also a standout, adding depth and gravitas to the performance.

The orchestral and choral accompaniments are equally impressive, with the Orchestre National De L'Opéra De Paris and Choeur National De L'Opéra De Paris providing a rich and vibrant sound that perfectly complements the solo performances.
