Berlioz - Les Troyens a Carthage / La Prise de Troie (extraits)

Berlioz - Les Troyens a Carthage / La Prise de Troie (extraits) - 1965

CD

EMI

Régine Crespin: Cassandra & Dido
Guy Chauvet: Aenea
Chorus and Orchestra of the Paris Opera
Cond. Georges Pretre

Recorded January & May 1965, Paris

The opera "Les Troyens" received its first performance on 4 November 1863 at the recently opened Théatre-Lyrique; but in a truncated form, the theater being too small (the work was intended for the Opéra de Paris).
What we have here are some extracts of the version realized by Berlioz in two parts:
"La Prise de Troie" (acts 1 & 2 of the opera) and "Les Troyens Carthage" (acts 3, 4 & 5 of the opera).
