About

Franz von Suppé became famous all over the world for the easy brilliance of his operetta melodies. He also achieved great success with theatrical stage music, including this version of Jules Verne’s adventure novel Around the World in 80 Days. Verne’s interest in science and new discoveries reflects the optimism of the late 19th century, and Suppé’s music is a perfect reflection of the light and dark in the narrative, evocatively tracking Phileas Fogg’s enterprising and at time dangerous voyage, and taking in the exotic orient and Gold Rush America along the way. The stage version of Jules Verne’s Die Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen was made not long after the original novel’s publication, but while Around the World in 80 Days has become an iconic tale through numerous classic films, Suppé’s expressive music for the story has until now been largely forgotten. This world premiere recording of a musical journey alongside Phileas Fogg, Passepartout and the rescued Princess Aouda is sure to grab the attention of all kinds of listeners, and we are delighted to be able to add it to the Naxos catalogue.

Reviews

December 2022

The Austrian composer takes us on a very enjoyable ride in the company of Phileas Fogg. With stops in Egypt, Borneo and the US along the way, his 1874 theatrical stage music is rarely short of drama, character and, above all, sheer good fun. It is all played with panache by the Janáček PO.

December 2022

Die Reise offers an enjoyable 51 minutes’ worth of listening... they once again demonstrate considerable empathy with the material and expertise in its execution. The release benefits, moreover, from expertly engineered sound that uncovers plenty of orchestral detail.
