Messager: Monsieur Beaucaire

On-going retrospective of soprano Martha Angelici (fiftieth anniversary of her passing will be celebrated on September 11th), one of the pillars of French lyric repertoire after the War. She particularly excelled in the lighter works by such composers as Planquette or Messager, and formed a beautiful duo with Michel Dens in the rare Monsieur Beaucaire of the latter.
