Molière, JeanJacques Mouret, Orchestre Du Collegium Musicum De Paris, Denise Benoit, Frédérique Hébrard, Rosy Varte, Les Frères Jacques - Le Médecin Malgré Lui

Review by Cliff Smith

Le Médecin Malgré Lui is a musical adaptation of Molière's famous play, performed by Jean-Jacques Mouret, Orchestre Du Collegium Musicum De Paris, Denise Benoit, Frédérique Hébrard, Rosy Varte, and Les Frères Jacques. The album is a delightful blend of classical music and theatrical performance, capturing the essence of Molière's witty and satirical play.

The music is composed by Jean-Jacques Mouret, who has done an excellent job of incorporating traditional French music into the orchestration. The use of traditional instruments like the accordion and the mandolin adds a unique flavor to the music, giving it a distinct French feel. The orchestral arrangements are flawless, and the musicians' performances are top-notch, adding depth and richness to the music.

The vocal performances are equally impressive, with Denise Benoit, Frédérique Hébrard, Rosy Varte, and Les Frères Jacques delivering powerful and emotive performances. The singers' voices are perfectly suited to the music, and their interpretations of the songs are spot on, capturing the humor and satire of Molière's play.

Summary by Cliff Smith

Le Médecin Malgré Lui is an excellent album that does justice to Molière's classic play. The music is beautifully composed and performed, and the vocals are outstanding. It's a must-listen for anyone who loves classical music, French culture, or theater.
