Domingo, still amazingly ringing, sings French more naturally than some languages...while Lang Lang's fluent touch makes the piano solos and accompaniments very pleasant...Orchestra and conductor are suitably idiomatic.

Relatively old Domingo sings with the voice of the young poet and really does love it! This is an astonishing performance, even for him...He can still sing with the fervour of youth but also with its flexibility, its ease and grace of movement. And, typically, he demonstrates all of this in something new.

We owe [La Nuit de Mai's] rediscovery, one suspects, to Plácido Domingo's willingness to sing it, which he does with intensity and with a voice that is still in terrific shape. The real heroes, however, are Alberto Veronesi and his virtuoso Bologna-based orchestra, who have the lion's share of the proceedings.
