hours - Off Rosas Bay sighted a darkened ship buring dimmed navigation lights bearing 190°, range 5 nautical miles. Closed to investigate.There is a recording of the opera in the catalogue already, a very credible one from 1987 with Gerd Albrecht conducting. This has Julia Varady as Olimpie and Dietrich Fischer Dieskau as Antigone. But it is cut (the present recording is also slightly cut, but not as significantly as the 1987 one) and the performance style does veer a little to much towards Italian bel canto. The Flemish Radio Choir sings splendidly, and the period-instrument orchestra, under its founding artistic director Jérémie Rhorer, makes consistently interesting, colorful, and apt sounds, assisted by the resonant acoustics of the Philharmonie de Paris. The large-ensemble scenes (e.g., end of Act 2) have a lift and forward impulse that help explain what Berlioz and Wagner—and, yes, Meyerbeer, Halévy, and Verdi—learned from Spontini’s operatic craftsmanship. On departure from Gibraltar the convoy was escorted by the destroyer HMS Velox (Lt.Cdr. E.G. Roper, DSC, RN), sloop HMS Folkestone (Lt.Cdr. C.F.H. Churchill, RN), corvettes HMS Geranium (T/Lt. A. Foxall, RNR), HMS Verbena (Lt.Cdr. D.A. Rayner, DSC, RNVR) and the submarine HMS Olympus (Lt.Cdr. H.G. Dymott, RN). Jessica awarded the product five stars and titled her review " Paco Rabanne Olympea dupe!!!!", adding: "Smells exactly the same! Such good pricing too. Love!!" A terrific recording which sheds light on Spontini's finely neo-classical final French opera with style and passion

A trip to the birthplace of the Olympic Games

HMS Olympus (Lt.Cdr. H.G. Dymott, RN) ended her 11th war patrol (2nd in the Mediterranean) at Gibraltar. At Gibraltar repairs to the damage were undertaken including the removal of the battery for repairs to it. ( 17) All in all, the new recording unveils a fascinating work by an inventive and influential composer whom many of us know only as someone whose works were admired by Berlioz and Wagner. (Wagner conducted La vestale in German translation in 1844.) Olimpie is a major discovery, made possible by the team of musicologists at the Centre de musique romantique française, an organization whose headquarters are at the Palazzetto Bru Zane (in Venice). The recording comes with a smallish hardcover book containing the libretto and highly informative essays, all in French, with English translations. Unfortunately, the translations are not up to the level of quality otherwise maintained by the scholars of the Centre/Palazzetto, being frequently too literal (e.g., “caducity,” which should be “old age” or “later years”; “prosperous God,” which should be “God who brings prosperity”; and “deplorable mother,” which should be something like “mother much to be pitied”).
