Welcome to your Friday Musical Moment! Today’s piece is Félicien David’s, Lalla Roukh, Act 1 Scene 5: Melodie “Sous le feuillage sombre.” It is sung by Marianne Fiset and the Opera Lafayette Orchestra.
David’s evocative and magical orchestration is harnessed to memorable melodies in Lalla Roukh’s deftly harmonized aria ‘Sous le feuillage sombre’ (Under the dark foliage), in our world premiere recording.
