Description:
With Offenbach Romantique, Marc Minkowski – the pre-eminent Offenbach conductor of our day – sheds light on his compatriot’s neglected instrumental output in a program that showcases Offenbach’s irresistible qualities as an orchestral, Romantic composer.
The album features the sensational world premiere recording of the long-lost original version of Jacques Offenbach’s large-scale Grand Concerto pour Violoncelle et Orchestre (“Concerto militaire”) for cello and orchestra – recorded here complete for the first time. It is often overlooked that the composer was himself a superb cello player, known in the salons of Paris as the “Liszt of the cello” – his only concerto is as much a document of Offenbach’s love for this instrument as it is proof of the composer’s rich compositional skills. In “Concerto militaire”, Offenbach combines a sparkling, witty approach with rich lyricism and soaring melodies, all interwoven with passages requiring breathtaking, Paganini-like virtuosity.
Conductor Marc Minkowski teams up with exceptional cello virtuoso Jérôme Pernoo and Les Musiciens du Louvre to create a unique and long-overdue homage to Offenbach the impassioned Romantic composer – far removed from the opéra bouffe clichés, Offenbach Romantique is a colourful tribute to Jacques Offenbach’s orchestral writing.
