'Richard Bonynge is arguably the foremost living conductor of French
opera, of Handel's operas, and of the Italians (Verdi, Donizetti,
Bellini, Bononcini, Leoncavallo etc). I was not at all surprised to
find he brings out the inexhaustible niceties and nuances within
Massenet's divinely crafted manuscripts.'
