Alceste - Anne Sofie von Otter
Admète - Paul Groves
English Baroque Soloists
and Monteverdi Choir - conducted by John Eliot Gardiner

King Admète has learned from an oracle that he will die unless another mortal takes his place. Here, Admète finds out that his substitute will be his devoted wife Alceste. He pleads with her to change her mind.
This excerpt corresponds to pages 66-76 of the "History of Music in Western Culture" anthology by Mark Evan Bonds.

Une A S Von Otter magnifique dans une mise en scène pleine d' une austère beauté.

I have had the pleasure of working with Paul on a couple of occasions. He makes great art with this piece, despite Robert Wilson's continuous attempts at ruining opera.

Ive had the pleasure of singing with paul on a couple of occasions. He really makes art with this piece, dispite Robert Wilson's continous attempts at ruining opera

I've always liked Paul Groves' voice. I think he's one of the more underrated tenors performing today. I wish he would get more DVD opportunities.
His voice is even better live.

I don't like Milos Forman's Amadeus, but I agree with his Mozart's opinion on Gluck
-
