Daniele Squeo at the podium of the disciplined, proud Badische Staatskapelle shaped the colorful score with sensitivity and transparency. Gounod’s melodies blossomed festively, without smug and insipid sentimentality of sound. The experienced conductor clearly and unambiguously laid out the dramatic and tragic aspect of this wonderful music, always keeping an alert eye on the soloists in attentive accompaniment.
