Description: Most of these songs exist in multiple versions but these orchestral ones (and thus, much more rarely recorded) are the most gratifying to listen to due to the opulence and skill you would expect of this composer in dealing with orchestral forces. The exoticism of Zaïde and La captive offset the glamorous sadness of Tristia. French-German texts. Laura Aikin (soprano), Lani Poulson (mezzo), SWR Vocal Ensemble Stuttgart, SWR Symphony Orchestra Baden-Baden und Freiburg; Sylvain Cambreling.
