Review by Minten Ayu Larassati

The album Les Contes d'Hoffmann Célèbre Sérénade by Mme E Calvé, Offenbach, Gounod is a delightful collection of classic French opera. The album features the renowned soprano Mme E Calvé, who delivers a stunning performance of some of the most beloved arias from Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann and Gounod's Faust.

Mme E Calvé's voice is simply stunning, and her range and control are on full display throughout the album. Her interpretation of the title character's famous aria, "Les oiseaux dans la charmille," is particularly impressive, as she effortlessly navigates the intricate vocal runs and soaring high notes.

The album also features some excellent orchestral arrangements, with the music perfectly complementing Mme E Calvé's vocals. The orchestra's lush strings and soaring brass sections provide a rich and full-bodied sound, perfectly capturing the drama and passion of the opera.
