Crisp, delightful, delicious, and charming here is the famous Leibowitz performance of "La Belle Helene" from 1951. It is well sung; the dialogue is well spoken, and the entire performance is an absolute delight. The set is filled out with twelve highlights from Chabrier's "L'Etoile" recorded in 1941 under the expert leadership of Roger Desormiere. This set is not to be missed!
