Les Siècles, Chœur de l'Opéra de Lille François-Xavier Roth

"Roth makes Debussy’s handling of orchestral colour seem more magical than ever, and even though his orchestra lacks the sheer tonal heft of a modern band, the great climaxes seem more intense than ever, while the moments of quiet lyricism are wrapped in textures of extraordinary delicacy…In an opera in which words matter so much, it’s a huge advantage having an entirely Francophone cast. Here every single syllable is distinct." - The Guardian, 20th January 2022.
