¡Meyerbeer: Ballet Music from the Operas
¡Michal Nesterowicz (conductor), Barcelona Symphony Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] There is an interesting anecdote about the name of Maierbeer ( 1791-1864 ), but we will not go into it here... He was by far the most popular opera composer of the early 19th century. His music was a combination of the Italian operatic style of Rossini and the German operatic style of Mozart and others, and it is well known that this sumptuous form was the basis of the grand opera, which strongly influenced French opera and Wagner. The first performance of "Robert the Devil" in 1831 made a strong impression on the Parisian opera world, and the ballet in the third act was the talk of the town. The nuns who have committed the crime lie in their tombs. The scene of the dancing ghosts of the sinning nuns in the tomb is indeed mysterious, and it is known that the great painter Degas also painted this scene on his canvas. Chopin was also impressed by this opera and wrote a work for cello and piano using the theme of the piece. The ballet piece by Maierbeer is not uninteresting. It is not uninteresting.
