“Jack Lawrence-Jones sustained a warm, eloquent account of the quite
lengthy role of Pollux. His dialogue with Télaïre – indicating that
he will implore Jupiter to bring Castor back to life, but also
revealing that he loves her himself – was persuasive and
impassioned, but without resorting to declamatory excess.”
