About this product

On his recently released Offenbach album featuring some of this composer's unknown overtures, InchHoward Griffiths is able to generate sparkling moments, dramatic buildups of suspense, highly expressive lyrical designs, and frequently suddenly occurring shifts of mood with absolutely outstanding successInch (klassik-heute. Com). And the latest Offenbach interpretation by Griffiths also does perfect justice to this composer's highly effectively instrumented and melodically very appealing music while transmitting infectious zest for life. Orphee aux Enfers was Offenbach's first international success and perhaps his most performed opera throughout the world - a landmark establishing a new genre known as the InchOffenbachiadeInch and standing for societal satire in the form of music theater. The present album offers the essence of the orchestral numbers and ballet inserts composed for the version of Orpheus in the Underworld from 1874. The rediscovery of the magnificent ballet L'Atlantide or Le Royaume de Neptune (The Realm of Neptune) and it's recording premiere on this album qualify as nothing short of sensational. Found under incredible circumstances by Jean-Christophe Keck in an old storage box, this music from the recently published volume of Keck's Offenbach edition for Boosey & Hawkes / Bote & Bock accomplishes a very important task ranking first on the list of every composer's desiderata by making available score material in it's uncorrupted form. These gems are finely orchestrated and filled with magical melodies! Album Tracks 1. Orphée aux enfers~Ouverture 2. Orphée aux enfers~Le Royaume de Neptune (L'Atlantide), ballet. L'orage 3. Orphée aux enfers~Le Royaume de Neptune (L'Atlantide), ballet. Scherzando 4. Orphée aux enfers~Le Royaume de Neptune (L'Atlantide), ballet. Pas de trois 5. Orphée aux enfers~Le Royaume de Neptune (L'Atlantide), ballet. T
