Opéra Magazine's November 2021 'pick of the month' - La Fille de Madame Angot

November's recording of the month in France's Opéra Magazine, 'Diamond'-rated, is the Palazzetto Bru Zane's production of Lecocq's La Fille de Madame Angot, with Anne-Catherine Gillet, Artavadz Sargsyan, Mathias Vidal (who seems to be in nearly everything these days), Véronique Gens... and the Paris Chamber Orchestra under Sébastien Rouland.

'Long live Angot's daughter!' writes the critic. 'Thanks to the Palazzetto Bru Zane, Lecocq's masterpiece has at last its reference version (...) To be listened to urgently.' The cast is said to be 'flawless' and 'As always with the Palazzetto, the libretto is printed in full, with enlightening introductory texts. So there's every reason for this complete recording, head and shoulders above the sparse catalogue, to become a reference.'
