Please recommend a good performance of Orphée Et Eurydice, preferably in the 1774 Paris revision. It seems the pickings are pretty slim :(

I think the server on this site still chokes from time to time on diacritical marks from foreign languages. We just don't cotton to things like that here in 'murka!
. . . the Vaclav Neumann / LGO performance with Grace Bumbry on Berlin Classics has a fervency combined with an unmannered refinement that I expect will never again be equaled. I used to have the LP incarnation of this performance when it was available on EMI/Angel.
BTW, I notice that, in contrast to many of the Handel operas and oratorios, there still remains a fair number of non-HIP recordings besides this Neumann version (Fasano, Richter, Muti. . . ) of Gluck's masterpiece.
For the 1774 Paris version, I'd recommend an oldie but a goodie: the Rosbaud/Lamoureux recording Simoneau on Philips - I remember the SQ as pretty dull (it's pre-stereo AFAIR), but Simoneau was made to sing this role!
While we agree on the original Paris edition(little to chose from)...
Von Otter, Hendricks, Berlioz and Gardiner all on one CD!
What's not to like? ;-)
