Video Program Notes:
"Massenet was one of the best-respected French composers of his day. He [was] also one of the most prolific and celebrated composers in the world. His gift for melody is reflected in a variety of arias that are among the most beautiful in the French operatic repertoire. Nuit d'Espagne is written by Louis Gallet. The colors and nuances of the voice of Philippe Jaroussky are remarkable especially in this piece."
