About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: The nineteenth-century French opera overture was for many years looked down on by certain music critics (and musicians) - largely as the genre turned it's back on the historical adherence to strict musical form (fugue, sonata form, etc.). Percy Scholes, in the 1955 Oxford Companion to Music, had the following to say 'a cheap but not always ineffective type of opera overture is that of the pot-pourri or medley - little more than a string of tunes from the work to follow.' These overtures were incredibly popular in their time, and the revival of this repertoire is long overdue. Daniel Auber composed more than fifty operas, some for the Paris Opera and some for the Opera Comique. His Grand Opera La Muette de Portici famously sparked the Belgian revolution in 1830, which led to the country's independence in 1839. Les Cloches de Corneville was by far the most successful of Planquette's twenty-four operas, receiving some 400 consecutive performances. Alexandre Lecocq's La Fille de Madame Angot was premiered in Brussels in 1872 and is set in post-revolutionary Paris. The Overture is followed here by numbers put together by Gordon Jacob, in his re-orchestration of material taken mainly from the opera, for Leonide Massine's ballet Mam'zelle Angot, which closely follows the action of the opera. Album Tracks 1. Domino noir, S 30~Overture. Allegretto - Allegro non troppo - Allegro assai 4. Cloches de Corneville~Overture. Allegro moderato - Andante - Un poco animato - Allegro - Tempo di valse - Tempo di valse 18. Suite from 'Mam'zelle Angot'~Act II. 13. Allegro moderato - Più mosso - Allegro - Allegro moderato - Vivo - Più mosso -

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.
