Alfred de Vigny's Cinq-Mars, published in 1826, is regarded as the first great historical novel in French. Gounod's operatic setting, premiered in 1877, returns to the historical grand opéra style. This recording features the final version of the piece with recitatives, performed by the Munich Radio Orchestra and the Bavarian Radio Choir. It is presented as a high-quality book-CD edition including scholarly essays and the full libretto.
