(The Tales of Hoffmann) Opera in three acts with a prologue and epilogue Libretto by JULES BARBIER after E. T. A. HOFFMANN Music by Offenbach (sung in French) mono records (1948) More than any individual contribution, it is its conversational intimacy, the way in which the music flows gracefully and wittily through the words, its identity of sound and sense, that gives this performance as a whole a very specialflavour. (ROBERT HENDERSON. OPERA ON RECORD 2) CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA OF THE OPÉRA-COMIQUE, PARIS/ ANDRE CLUYTENS
