Sandrine Piau (soprano), Orchestre Victor Hugo Franche-Comté, Jean-François Verdier

RecommendedHeike Wessels (mezzo soprano), Sergey Skorokhodov (tenor) & Albert Dohmen (baritone), Petra Lang (mezzo soprano)

Special offer. Zemlinsky: Eine Florentinische Tragodie
Aušrinė Stundytė (soprano), John Lundgren (bass-baritone), Nikolai Schukoff (tenor), Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, Marc Albrecht
