Originally set during Sicily's 13th-century uprising against French rule, in Christof Loy's staging for the Netherlands Opera the action is transposed to a 1940s world of sudden violence and shadowy double-dealing. Imaginatively cast and idiomatically conducted, the performance presents this magnificent score in its entirety, including the allegorical ballet The Four Seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNumber of Discs:\u003cbr\u003e2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSound:\u003cbr\u003e2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubtitles:\u003cbr\u003eEN, FR, DE, ES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAspect Ratio:\u003cbr\u003e16:9 Anamorphic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"review\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Alejandro Marco-Buhrmeister succeeds in evoking our sympathy in 'Au sein de la puissance'.
