Bru Zane future plans

[Christopher]

It is said on the Palazzetto Bru Zane website about Saint-Saëns's "Déjanire": Recording for the 'French opera' series - Bru Zane Label

Yes, just no info (that I can see) about what or when.

 BERTIN's Fausto (Rousset, concert on June 20th 2023 at the TCE in Paris) will be released in the usual form on 26 January 2024.

An enterprising release, but I'm not impressed by the excerpts I've heard - so far.

The vocal score of the Holmès opera is up (well, ok, has been up for 14 years.), though I notice that Wikipedia is unusually POV about it even as it quotes contemporary negative critics. Maybe the editors of that article should wait until after the Dortmund production

Camille Saint-Saëns' Déjanire is on the way! To be released on 12th April 2024.

See bru-zane.com/en/pubblicazione/dejanire/ for details.

Very good news - thanks!

Hurrah! Thank you for this update BerlinExpat.

I think that's now all Saint-Saens operas recorded?

Following some of the recent posts at UC on Bru Zane recordings, worth noting are some forthcoming recordings, not yet mentioned on this forum I believe, which will tickle some members' fancies. You can find out more towards the end of their 2024-25 season booklet (from pages 94-99).

Recordings include:

• Offenbach: La vie parisienne
• Massenet: Grisélidis
• Bizet: Djamileh
• 'The Unknown Bizet' (including: Vasco de Gama; La mort s'avance; Le retour de Virginie; Le Golfe de Baïa; etc)

Other recordings mentioned in the booklet (with no official release dates, as yet, as far as I can tell) include works for cello and orchestra by Franchomme, Ropartz, Dubois, Caplet, Widor, Schmitt, etc - see page 11 of the booket.

What a fantastic institution this is!

More Bru Zane productions: Three great operatic rediscoveries mark the season 2024-25: L'Ancêtre by Camille Saint-Saëns (1906) in Monaco; Mazeppa by Clémence de Grandval (1892) in Munich (27. 01. 25); and Psyché by Ambroise Thomas (1857-1878) in Budapest and Vienna. Performed in concert and recorded on CD, these rarities will perhaps have the same fortune as the gems unearthed in previous years, which, after winning over their first audiences, are now returning in staged versions to European theatres.

Thanks for this information - great to hear!
