This disc, with its Operetta companion below, makes a worthy tribute to Alain Vanzo, one of the most stylish French tenors of his day. In his prime from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, when these recordings were made, his singing radiated character and charm. The operetta compilation has never been available on CD (it’s worth the price for the booklet photos alone!) and contains two of Vanzo’s own songs. Both recitals are a telling reminder of why Vanzo still features on numerous complete recordings of French repertoire, from ‘Lakmé’, ‘Mignon’ and Fauré’s ‘Pénélope’ to ‘La Périchole’ by Offenbach.
