Faust

Album by Charles Gounod & Kiri Te Kanawa & Francisco Araiza & Evgeny Nesterenko & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Sir Colin Davis

Faust is an opera by French composer Charles Gounod, premiered in 1859. Rooted in French Romanticism, it features lyrical melodies, expressive orchestration and prominent solo vocal writing that illustrate dramatic characterisation, and it helped establish Gounod's reputation while becoming a staple of the 19th-century operatic repertoire.
