4.0 out of 5 stars Seconded, 29 Jul 2001
By Mr. GL Fox "Greg Fox" (Peterborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is still a wonderful performance, and the Seito Kinen Orchestra are their usual romantic selves, which is excellent... but the authenticity of the Poulenc/Duval sound is very hard to reproduce. It's still hard-hitting though - the vulgarity used as a veritable weapon, and yet the romantic empathy oozing off the page so touching it's hard to imagine anything more like falling in love again... I like it, the piece and the recording. But yes, I would definitely still buy the Duval one on CD. Vinyl is fine, but opera never did sit terribly well on it!

3.0 out of 5 stars No replacement for Cluytens and Denise Duval, 29 April 2001
By A Customer
This Ozawa recording is fine if it's all you can get and don't know the work, which is a real gem, a must for anyone who appreciates Poulenc's blend of the bittersweet and the boulevard. It's useful also for the sound quality, which reveals the details of the score. But for Parisian style, for idiom, the 1953 recording under André Cluytens, with the supremely chic Denise Duval perfect in the title role, can't be beaten - if you can find it.
