It was"Faust", after Part I of Goethe's like-named drama, that established Charles Gounod's worldwide fame. The aging Faust enters a pact with the Devil, selling his soul to Mephistopheles and receiving his restored youth in return. He also experiences the happiness of new love when he meets the young Margaret.
This vocal score of Gounod's masterpiece presents many of its familiar numbers, such as Marguerite's Jewel Song and the Ballad about the King of Thule, Mephistopheles' rondo on the Golden Calf and Faust's cavatina"Salut! demeure chaste et pure".
