.: Tracklist :.

Hard on the heels of a triumphant Lohengrin, Decca follows up with an equally astonishing debut performance of Jonas Kaufmann: Goethe's love-lorn hero Werther in Massenet's romantic opera. His premiere appearance in the role, in Paris in January 2010, took the French operatic world by storm, his assumption being hailed by Le Monde: "Werther is portrayed by the tenor of the moment, the German Jonas Kaufmann. He brings to the part a sublime timbre (warm, at times "baritonal" and musky), exceptional musicality, a very wide palette of tonal shadings and immaculate diction. Add to that his histrionic gifts and matinÈe-idol appeal and you've got a cocktail of qualities that rarely all come together at the opera."

He was supported by a superb French cast, including Sophie Koch as Charlotte and Ludovic TÈzier as Albert, with the venerable Michel Plasson giving an expansive, lyrical interpretation from the pit. Film director BenoÓt Jacquot's attractive, straight-forward production, first seen at the Royal Opera House in London, focuses successfully on the various personal dramas of the opera.

Filmed in high definition widescreen by IdÈale Audience, this new Werther is Jonas Kaufmann's third Decca DVD, and follows the extraordinary success of his Royal Opera Carmen and the recently-released Lohengrin from Munich.
