If you're looking for a ghostly good time, look no further than LA Opera and James Conlon's performance of John Corigliano's "The Ghosts of Versailles." This album is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the spirits that linger in the halls of a royal palace, set to an eerie yet enthralling score.
The vocals on this album are absolutely spine-chilling, with powerful performances by some of opera's most talented singers. The way they bring these spectral characters to life is truly mesmerizing – you can almost feel the icy touch of a phantom hand as they sing.
Conlon's conducting is impeccable, perfectly capturing the ethereal atmosphere of the piece. The orchestra weaves together a tapestry of sound that is both haunting and hypnotic, drawing you in and holding you captive until the final note fades away.
Overall, "The Ghosts of Versailles" is a must-listen for any music lover who enjoys a bit of the supernatural with their symphonies. It's a hauntingly beautiful album that will send shivers down your spine and leave you feeling like you've just stepped into a ghostly ballroom. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and prepare to be whisked away to a world where the spirits of the past come alive in song.
