  Intermezzo Chorus, Madrid SO/Michel Plasson (recorded in the Teatro Real, Madrid by Spanish Radio)

  French composer Charles Gounod is best known for his opera Faust. Another opera occasionally still performed, is Roméo et Juliette. The romantic and melodious tragedy Roméo et Juliette,  based on the Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet, premiered in 1867.

  “Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, in which the composer is always pleasing, though seldom impressive, might be described as the powerful drama of Romeo and Juliet reduced to the proportions of an eclogue for Juliet and Romeo. One remembers the work as a series of very pretty duets, varied by a sparkling waltz air for Juliet, in which Madame Patti displays that tragic genius, which belongs to her equally, with the highest capacity for comedy. [Vaccai's] Romeo e Giulietta is an admirable opera for Giulietta; in which Romeo is not forgotten.” Sutherland Edwards, music critic of the St. James's Gazette in 1867.
