With his powerful voice and unrivalled diction, Ernest Blanc was one of the most esteemed singers during his prime in the 1960s. Once again recorded under the conducting of his fellow countryman Georges Prêtre, this album includes large highlights of Gluck’s masterpiece Iphigénie en Tauride, with Blanc portraying Orestes, heartfully rendering his proverbial friendship with Pylades (Nicola Gedda).
