was listening to the long version of the Walpurgisnacht scene from the Gounod Faust on the way in to work this morning and it always makes me a little sad when productions don't do it that way (although it does require dropping the ballet. But the McVicar ROH version did such a good ballet it's hard to imagine a version that is as good in a way that doesn't just rip it off)
#gounod faust#hot faust summer#i have the 1994 recording with hadley/ramey/gasdia#which while mostly the standard version i think is doing the 1859 material for that scene#it also has the marguerite & sièbel besties scene and i love that for it#the textual history of gounod faust is complicated#and i definitely do not know exactly what got revised when#marlowe 🤝 gounod <- everyone doing the good-bits faust editions#anyway the long version of walpurgisnacht has so much more choral music and it slaps
