Opéra Magazine's 'pick of the month' for February 2023

It's weird. I was away for all of six weeks over Christmas and the New Year. In my letterbox, on my return, there was no January issue of Opéra Magazine, and I don't know if they actually published one*. But now the February edition is here, it contains only three CD reviews, and none at all of DVDs...

Their pick of the month, with a 'Diamond' award for outstanding achievement, is what they like to call a 'reference' version of Lully's Psyché: 'Yet again, Christophe Rousset strikes a masterly blow in his cycle of Lully operas.' This version, they say, on, Château de Versailles Spectacles, outclasses its rival, dating back to 2007.

*Edit. They didn’t, as an omniscient mussel in Alabama pointed out.
