Jacques Offenbach - Celebrating Offenbach - CD

Although he wrote over 100 operas during his extraordinary career, only a fraction of Offenbach's output is regularly performed today.

This boxset provides an introduction to more than twenty of the composer's lesser-known works, including the complete studio recordings of Vert-Vert and Robinson Crusoe, and features an impressive cast including Jennifer Larmore, Toby Spence, Loïc Félix and Laura Claycomb.

Remastered to the best audio quality and featuring a specially commissioned essay by specialist Marco Ladd, these recordings will enchant Offenbach fans with their subtle charm and witty humour.
