About

This is the CD recording of Lalo’s three-act opera, Le Roi d’Ys, the sole recording in recent times. Dynamic released the DVD in 2009 which was praised by The Penguin Guide as “an excellent example of a neglected opera, superbly presented and thoroughly recommendable”. BBC Music Magazine gave the DVD 4 stars, saying “altogether a fascinating relic.”

Awards and reviews

11th October 2012

The chorus could be bigger and better, but there's punchy conducting from Patrick Davin. It's not as good as the classic versions by André Cluytens and Pierre Dervaux, but there's no mistaking the superb economy and force of the piece itself, the neglect of which, outside the French-speaking world.
