Philippe Gagné (Countertenor) - Lieselot De Wilde (Sopran) - Norman D. Patzke (Bassbariton) - u.a. // This recording treats us to two versions of the celebrated story. Jean-Philippe Rameau's familiar one-act opera Pigmalion, in which the deus ex machina fulfils Pygmalion's desires, is followed by Georg Benda's little-known gem of the same name: a gripping monodrama for spoken voice and orchestra.
