Popp knew what she was about, and she is stupendous here. The two-octave range is commanded, and indeed, Popp’s lower range boasts surprising richness…With the Ambrosian Opera Chorus men in lusty from and the opera’s sweeping dramatic trajectory excitingly (never exaggeratedly) shaped by the LSO under Antonio de Almeida’s consistently persuasive direction, we have a landmark in the Massenet discography.
