About
Daniel-François-Esprit Auber's music radiates both his amiable personality and the Parisian elegance of his times. The huge success of his operas resulted in a popularity for these overtures that rivalled that of Rossini, who was an early influence. Auber's brilliant and energetic style infuses tales of romance both rustic and aristocratic, with moods ranging from dramatic heroism to dashing ballroom dances - all portrayed with the signature charm that made him a standard bearer of musical stylishness and good taste.

Jul/Aug 2020
the musicians play this music with wonderful spirit, and the performances sound both well-rehearsed and spontaneous...Given how well they respond to these unknown works, I hope that Naxos uses them and conductor Salvi for the remaining volumes in this series. I also hope that they keep the same recording venue and engineering team, because the sound is terrific. So when are we going to get Volume 2? The sooner, the better!
February 2020
The first disc in a new series that should unearth plenty of rarities.
