Faust

Album by Charles Gounod & Plácido Domingo & Mirella Freni & Nicolaï Ghiaurov & Chœurs de l’Orchestre National de Paris & Orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris & Georges Prêtre

Faust is an opera by French composer Charles Gounod, premiered in 1859. It exemplifies French Romantic opera through its lyrical vocal writing, expressive orchestration and a blend of intimate scenes with larger choral and ensemble passages, and it was a key work in Gounod's operatic output that consolidated his reputation in mid-19th-century French musical life.
