专辑介绍
This recording may in many ways exemplify the old adage, “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.” The cast is not, in each individual role, the strongest on records, but in toto the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. Listening through headphones clearly reveals numerous tape splices, particularly in those passages featuring tenor Charles Burles. The sound quality is typical EMI standard of the era, meaning a somewhat shallow perspective on both voices and orchestra. Collectors younger than 45 may not even believe that this front-rank recording, now considered a phonographic classic, was not even issued in America on EMI’s top-rank label (Angel) but rather on its budget affiliate, Seraphim. Why was this? Possibly because, the year before, superstar Joan Sutherland had issued her own recording of Lakmé featuring the great French tenor Alain Vanzo, and sales of that set had not really abated by the time this one came out in 1971.
Yet those of us who bought the set without even knowing what the principals sounded like—and at that time, only bass Roger Soyer was well known in the U.S.—were utterly charmed by Mesplé’s intelligent, thoughtful, alternately vulnerable and independent Lakmé and Burles’s sensitively shaded, quintessentially French-sounding Gerald. (A caveat: Though Mesplé’s recordings were not readily available in the U.S., she did have an excellent reputation, via reports from foreign correspondents in the opera magazines, as being a first-class musician and a marvelous stage actress.) If Lakmé was a “chick opera” (pardon the profiling!), this recording was the chick performance supreme. And it still is.

- @邱-臻：德利伯的音乐作品轻快、优美、雅致、色彩绚丽、带有异国情调的倾向反映着法国第二帝国时代的精神风貌。他的创作以戏剧音乐为主，而其中又以芭蕾音乐成就最高，被视为第一个为芭蕾谱写高质量音乐的人。他的音乐大胆创新，丰富了人民风俗描绘的色彩，扩充了心理刻画的传统手法，幷发展了戏剧性的因素，使芭蕾音乐进一步交响化。开拓性的作品为严肃的作曲家们打开了一个新天地，而他的影响则可以在柴可夫斯基以及其他为舞蹈创作的作曲家的作品中找到；柴科夫斯基，认为德利布是一位胜过布拉姆斯的优秀作曲家。德利伯谱写了一些教堂乐曲以及一些富有诗情画意的歌曲，其中《加迪斯的姑娘们》这支曲子具有比才的风格。
