About

Daniel-Franc¸ois-Esprit Auber represents the essence of Romantic opera-comique with vivacious and elegant works that enjoyed huge popularity for decades. He collaborated with a fellow luminary, Ferdinand Herold, for Vendôme en Espagne, a work rich in Spanish dances and colour. With a vivid display of Auber's gift for melody and orchestration, the overture to La Fiancee proved so successful and popular that Liszt arranged it as a fantasia three times. L'Enfant prodigue contains his longest overture, a powerful statement reflecting the tragic aspects of this Biblical parable.

Critic reviews

  • “The Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra Ostrava plays with inspiration and nuance under the committed direction of Dario Salvi, delivering colourful and, when necessary, dramatically gripping performances.”
