Summary:
From their first meeting until their tragic deaths, Jussi Björling and Bidú Sayô are a Romeo and Juliet you won't be able to forget. Their achingly beautiful voices convey all the passion and impetuousness of Shakespeare's poignant teenage lovers. But at the same time Björling and Sayao sing with an elegance and charm so necessary for French opera of the Belle Epoque.
Contents:
Overture
Vérone vit jadis deux familes rivales
L'heure s'envole joyeuse et folle
Eh bien? cher Pŕis!
Ah! Qu'elle est belle! Écoutez! écoutez!
Allons! jeunes gens! Allons! belles dames!
Enfin la place est libre
Mab, la reine des mensonges
Voyons nourice
Je veux vivre dans le rêve (Juliet's waltz)
Le nom de cette belle enfant? Ange adorable
Quel qu'un! C'est mon cousin Tybalt! Que la fête recommence!
Entr'acte
Ô nuit! sous tes ailes obscure
L'amour! L'amour! Ah! lève-toi soleil!
Hélas! Moi, le haïr!
Écoute! On vient! Personne! Personne!
Ô nuit divine!
Ah! ne fuis pas encore!
Mon père! Dieu vous garde!
Dieu, qui fis l'homme à ton image
Depuis hier je cherche ; Que fais-tu blanche tourterelle
Ah! Ah! Voici nos gens!
Allons! Tu ne me connais pas
Qu'est-ce donc? C'est Tybalt! Ô jour de deuil!
Eh quoi? Tou-jours du sang! Ah! Jour de deuil et d'horreur
Va! Je t'ai pardonné
Nuit d'hyménée
Ah! tu dis vrai, c'est le jour!
Mon père! Tout m'accable! Buvez donc ce breuvage
Juliet's slumber
C'est la! Salut! Ô ma femme!
À toi, ma Juliette!
Console-toi, pauvre ḿe.
