5.0 out of 5 stars What a find!, 4 Jun 2006
By spalanzane (North Wales) - See all my reviews
I like this disc a lot. I've always found Offenbach to have an infectious quality, and can listen to Orphée aux enfers or Les Contes d'Hoffmann repeatedly without getting bored. This disc presents a lot of Offenbach rarities and is an absolute delight. A lot of the excerpts are from operettas and operas only the titles of which are familiar, such as Madame l'Archiduc, Lischen et Fritzchen and Barbe-Bleue. As the booklet says, Offenbach wasn't just one of the greatest entertainers of the nineteenth-century, he was one of the greatest composers too, and this lack of representation in the catalogue is a real shame. But thankfully it is improving: Marc Minkowsky has now recorded with Les Musiciens du Louvre La Belle Hélène (along with Laurent Naouri who appears on this recording), La Grande Duchesse de Gérolstein and, with the Orchestre de Chambre de Grenoble, Orphée aux emfers. So things are looking up.

This recording presents fourteen excerpts from operettas, operas and revues, and the youthful Ouverture à Grand Orchestre. And presents them rather deliciously, I might add - along with an informative booklet, the CD is presented in a wallet-style (as others, such as The Art of Cecilia Bartoli, have done before now) with Renoir's The Rowers' Breakfast decorating the interior. But that's not the only reason to buy this!

I must admit to having never actually heard Anne Sophie von Otter sing before I bought this CD, but now having had the experience I can say she is a very good mezzo. Her voice is quite light at times, though often nondescript too. Nevertheless she proves to be a very good vocal actress in such numbers as the `Sextuor de l'Alphabet' from Madame l'Archiduc, where she sings Marietta, a tavern serving girl; and the `Griserie-Ariette' from La Périchole that ends the disc, where she plays a very drunk Périchole.

The supporting artists include Gilles Ragon and Laurent Naouri, both having sung in Offenbach recordings in the past. Ragon played the servant role in Les Contes d'Hoffmann under Kent Nagano on Erato, and Naouri sang Jupiter on the EMI recording of Orphée aux enfers under Minkowski. Here, Ragon is as bemused as his Frantz as Marietta's husband Giletti in Madame l'Archiduc, as well as supoorting in the Grande Duchesse excerpts.
Laurent Naouri appears as "the composer of the future", a Wagner parody that is truly hilarious and must have been more so live, where at the end he is overcome with emotion and throws himself into the arms of the conductor! He also sings in the very graceful duet from Lischen et Fritzchen with von Otter, both extolling the virtues of being Alsatian.

This is a live recording, though it isn't that obvious due to there being no applause or in fact any audience participation until the end, where there are a few murmurs of amusement during the Périchole arietta.

So in short I very highly recommend it - it's a marvellous little disc!
