Background: This is Rolando Villazón's second disc on Virgin Classics. The album's programme combines a choice of French opera arias by Gounod and Massenet, two composers emblematic of the 19th century French opera repertoire: some are very popular, others are rarities, and one aria has actually never been recorded - 'Ah! Parais' from Le Mage.
