| Description: | He was born in Cologne, but it was in Paris that Jacques Offenbach achieved fame. A special feature of this 30-CD collection are star-studded recordings in both French and German of his most celebrated operettas â?? works that overflow with joie de vivre and satirical wit â?? and of Les Contes dâ??Hoffmann, an opera that daringly fuses fantasy, comedy and tragedy. It also includes irresistibly stylish performances of such tempting rarities as Les Brigands, Pomme dâ??Api, Monsieur Choufleuri and Mesdames de la Halle.
Artists; Michel Plasson, John Eliot Gardiner, Sylvain Cambreling, Willy Mattes, Manuel Rosenthal, John Aler, Colette Alliot-Lugaz, Gabriel Bacquier, Teresa Berganza, José Carreras, Régine Crespin, Adolf Dallapozza, Michel Dens, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Nicolai Gedda, Jean-Philippe Lafont, Mady Mesplé, Ann Murray, Jessye Norman, Jane Rhodes, Anneliese Rothenberger, Neil Shicoff, Michel Sénéchal, Michel Trempont of José van Dam. - VARIOUS"Offenbach: Operas & Operettas" on CD by Warner Classics is a richly curated showcase of Jacques Offenbach's irresistibly melodic world of comic opera and operetta. This collection brings together a stylistically diverse selection of highlights and complete scenes from some of his most beloved stage works, offering an ideal gateway for newcomers as well as a rewarding listening experience for seasoned opera lovers. Sparkling overtures, witty ensembles and memorable arias unfold in vibrant, characterful performances that underline Offenbach's gift for combining lightness, humor and lyrical warmth. The CD places particular emphasis on contrast and variety: from effervescent, dance-like numbers to more lyrical, romantic passages, the program illustrates the full range of Offenbach's theatrical imagination and his influence on later musical theater and operetta traditions. As a mixed-artist compilation, the focus lies less on individual performers and more on the stylistic breadth of interpretations--allowing listeners to experience different vocal colors, orchestral textures and interpretive approaches to Offenbach's music within a single, coherent album concept.
Released by Warner Classics, a label known for its deep catalog and long-standing commitment to first-class classical recordings, this CD benefits from carefully remastered sound and thoughtful repertoire curation. Warner Classics has built a strong reputation by collaborating with leading orchestras, conductors and singers, and by preserving important recordings from past decades while continuing to issue distinguished new projects. With "Offenbach: Operas & Operettas", the label again demonstrates its strength in assembling anthologies that are both musically substantial and accessible, making this disc a compelling addition to any opera or classical collection. |
