 Antonio
Salieri. Les Danaïdes (Tragédie lyrique, Paris 1784).
Oehms Classics OC 909 (2 CDs, September 2007).
Details. Michael Hofstetter, Chor und Orchester der
Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele (period instruments).
Hypermnestre: Sophie Marin-Degor, soprano; Danaüs: Hans
Christoph Begemann, baritone; Lyncée: Christoph Genz, tenor;
Plancippe: Kirsten Blaise, soprano; Pélagus: Wolfgang Frisch,
tenor. I highly recommend this recording on a French translation
of Calzabigi's reform libretto after Metastasio's Ipermestra.
Gluck was unable to compose the music due to illness but
nevertheless was listed as the composer in the livret. After six
successful performances, a newspaper printed a statement by
Gluck that the opera was entirely the work of Salieri.
Stylistically, it could easily be mistaken for a Gluck French
opera and is of similarly high quality.

 Antonio
Salieri. La Grotta di Trofonio (1785). Ambroisie AMB 9986
(2 CDs, November 2005). Includes a DVD with scenes from this
opera. Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques, Choeur de
L'Opéra de Lausanne.
Notes by Christophe Rousset (pdf). Dori: Marie Arnet,
soprano; Ofelia: Raffaella Milanesi, soprano; Trofonio: Carlo
Lepore, bass; Artemidoro: Nikolaï Schukoff, tenor; Aristone:
Olivier Lallouette, baritone; Plistene: Tobias Rapp, tenor.
NewOlde.com 2005 Best Classical Opera Award. This was a very
pleasant surprise. The buffo libretto bears some resemblance to
Così fan tutte, as two pairs of lovers experience
personality reversals upon entering and leaving Trofonio's
grotto. Overall, Salieri's music is stylistically closer to
Gluck, his teacher, than Mozart. The opera clearly deserved to
be rescued from obscurity.

Orchester, Chorus Musicus Wien. Maddalena: Melba Ramos, soprano;

Peter Branscombe's review in Early Music Review 100 at
21-22 (May 2004): "All four of the soloists do very well in
their often taxing music, and the orchestra and chorus are
excellent. . . . [T]he recorded sound is of high quality."
