Fidelio
Jessye Norman stars as the courageous Leonore who sets out to free her beloved Florestan from imprisonment, in Beethoven’s great opera on the themes of love and freedom. An outstanding cast is conducted by the great Bernard Haitink. “The unsurpassed nobility of Jessye Norman’s voice is perfectly matched to this noblest of operas… her reading is consistently rich and beautiful”. “With excellent digital sound and with strong, forthright conducting from Haitink, this is the finest of modern version.” The Penguin Guide
