Info for Romantic Heroines from the Revolution to the Empire

There is no French music between Rameau and Berlioz. This assertion is still made by a number of music lovers and even a few otherwise knowledgeable musicologists, but the would-be truth must now be tempered by the increasingly enthusiastic rediscovery of an entire chapter in the history of French music between 1770 and 1830. Here is a superb illustration of that in the fields of opera and the symphony.

Jennifer Borghi, mezzo-soprano
