Altinoglu
The composer Jules Massenet constantly renewed his style. Towards the end of his life he turned to experimental forms of expression that are astonishing even today. Combining a marked taste for the late eighteenth century (already found in Manon and Werther) with a very modern use of naturalism, Thérèse shows both immediacy in its dramatic discourse and lyricism in its emotional expression, thus greatly deepening the strength and poignancy of the subject.
Massenet:
Thérèse
"[Gubisch brings] a keen dramatic and psychological edge to her character. Her moment of madness when she betrays herself at the end is spine-tingling stuff...Dupuis almost takes centre-stage...with his beautifully projected big-lyric baritone and eloquent declamation...French music seems to suit [Castronovo] perfectly"
International Record Review - September 2013
"The scale is small, the plot thin, but the opera has its moments: one of them is the flowing 'O Therese, regarde', sensitively phrased by Etienne Dupuis. Nora Gubisch and Charles Castronovo are splendid"
Gramophone Magazine - October 2013
