After the first recording of Saint-Saëns’ opera Ascanio, Guillaume Tourniaire returns to b•records’ Geneva collection to resurrect a new score… and a wonderful composer: La Sorcière by Camille Erlanger! Written on a libretto by André Sardou based on the eponymous play by Victorien Sardou, and created at the Opéra-Comique in 1912 in Paris, La Sorcière impresses with its theatricality and musical richness, mixing with originality the lyricismof French post-romantic school, impressionist transparencies and the aesthetic influences of naturalism.

An unforgettable live performance conducted by Guillaume Tourniaire at the Victoria Hall in Geneva in December 2023 with the Choir and Orchestra of the Haute École de Musique de Genève, and an exceptional cast.
