Jules Massenet. Thérèse

Date:
CD-Book. Bru Zane Label. French Opera Collection n. 3.
The composer Jules Massenet constantly renewed his style. Towards the end of his life he turned to experimental forms of expression that are astonishing even today. Combining a marked taste for the last eighteenth century (already found in Manon and Werther) with a very modern use of naturalism, Thérèse shows both immediacy in its dramatic discourse and lyricism in its emotional expression, thus greatly deepening the strenghth and poignancy of the subject.
