 Ambroise Thomas - Mignon [CH]: Classical CD Reviews- Aug 2002 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Thomas certainly shows great skill in maintaining the identity of his characters in quite elaborate ensembles — such as the sextet — but choruses and dance music are conventional and unmemorable compared with Bizet or Gounod.
As well as her Act One romance, Mignon has an entertaining scene in Act Two in which she experiments with Philine’s make-up box and both Wilhelm Meister and Lothario have arias of melancholy sweetness to match Mignon’s own.
Once again, Thomas shows skill in contrasting his mezzo-soprano heroine with a light coloratura soprano, the frivolous and spiteful Philine.

 Ambroise Thomas String Quartet in e, Op.1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Today, Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896) is only remembered as the composer of the opera Mignon, one of the most successful French operas written during the last half of the 19 century.
To begin with, the Prix de Rome was a composition prize and Thomas had won it based on his composition of a cantata.
Verdi, who knew Thomas' music well, must surely have borrowed this idea for his own quartet as the trio section to his quartet so closely resembles what Thomas did here.

 Hamlet - Ambroise Thomas
A professor at the Paris Conservatory, and for some years its director, the French composer Ambroise Thomas wrote twenty operas between 1837 and 1882.
Their great success when they premiered in Paris (1866 and 1868, respectively) placed Thomas briefly at the acme of French opera composers, but over time his stature has declined, outshone by his predecessor Berlioz and by his student, Massenet.
Still, the ultimate weakness of Thomas' score is evident, even in as accomplished an overall performance as this one.
