György Vashegyi

Registrazione del 2020

"Phèdre is pervaded with what you might call a noble simplicity; and if Lemoyne can’t match Gluck for memorable tunes, he certainly has a gift for intense, declamatory recitative. Other memorable touches include the unexpectedly quiet endings to the first and last acts and the splendour of his orchestration...György Vashegyi’s conducting of the Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra is as gripping and stylish as ever."
