Fiedler's rendering of Offenbach and Ibert

Steven A. Peterson | Hershey, PA (Born in Kewanee, IL) | 11/22/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Arthur Fielder was not a great conductor, who created new interpretations of music. But who cares! His work was enjoyable and it brought important music to a broader audience. Not a bas contribution!

This CD features music by Jacques Offenbach and Jacques Ibert (the two Jacques?).

Offenbach's overture to "La Belle Helene"? The piece begins as a crisp pace Most engaging. The piece develops nicely. A nice piece of Offenbachiana. "Tales of Hoffman"? There are several pieces from this work. The shimmering music is typical of Offenbach, engaging. "La Perichole"? Lively, to say the least. This piece gets the toes a tapping! More elegiac parts ensue. Well played.

Ibert? A few comments on some of the cuts. The Introduction? Wow! A lively introduction. Strings take the lead and introduce the piece nicely. "Valse"? The waltz is nicely played, with the Boston Pops doing their work well indeed. The strings and woodwinds move the music forward at an enjoyable pace. Fiedler may not have been cerebral, but he led the Pops well and introduced lots of people to classical music.

Overall, a nice CD that provides lively music from Offenbach and Ibert.
