Messager: Véronique

After the previous week’s release of the rare and delicious Monsieur Beaucaire, here is another jewel of French light music by the most distinguished composer of opérettes André Messager. Véronique is probably his most famous work, thanks to its ravishing Swing and Donkey duets, that are part of the French popular heritage. This historical version is served by a beautiful cast of legendary singers from the 1950s, Camille Maurane and Martha Angelici.
