Daniel-Francois-Esprit Auber: Manon Lescaut

Angebote / Angebote:

The overtures of Daniel-Fran ois-Esprit Auber (1782 1871), once as popular as those of Gioacchino Rossini and Franz von Supp, were formerly known everywhere, a staple of the light Classical repertoire. The influence of Auber's melodies and dance rhythms on piano and instrumental music, and on the genre of Romantic comic opera, especially in Germany, was overwhelming. The operas themselves, apart from Fra Diavolo (1830), have virtually passed out of the repertoire, but some of their overtures live on vicariously, and sound brilliant and charming when given the chance The Bronze Horse, Masaniello, The Crown Diamonds, Fra Diavolo, The Black Domino. The freshness of the melody, the incision of the orchestral colours, and the rhythmic vitality are still capable of generating a visceral excitement.
