Where it came from
Released in 1979 by His Master's Voice, this collection of Jacques Offenbach overtures features the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under the baton of conductor Louis Frémaux. The album emerged during a period when the orchestra was gaining international recognition for its refined interpretations of the classical and romantic repertoire, building on Frémaux's tenure as principal conductor, which began in 1969 and helped define the ensemble's sophisticated, nuanced sound.
The selection focuses on the operetta works of Offenbach, most notably the overture to Orpheus in the Underworld, a piece famous for its spirited 'galop infernal' which came to symbolize the Parisian exuberance of the Second Empire. The recording captures the technical precision and orchestral color that the CBSO developed during the 1970s, presenting these theatrical overtures not merely as light background music but as intricate compositions requiring stylistic dexterity and rhythmic flair.
