CD Reviews

A beautiful opera with some unforgettable scenes...

04/29/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Remember the scene at the opera in the movie Life is Beautiful, it was the enchanting and famous Barcarlle from this opera. Gorgeous melodies await you, such as the stunning "Doll Song", where the soprano is a lovely doll who needs to be wound (you'll hear a mechanical winding noise) in order to continue singing...The famous "Legend of Kleinzach"...This is great music. If you're okay with a 1965 quality recording, then go for it! And this performance captures the lovely French style quite well. The opera booklet only includes a synopsis explaining the tracks but has no biographical info about Offenbach and no historical info about this opera."
