About

Meyerbeer was a precocious composer and this album traces some of his very earliest works. Der Fischer und das Milchmädchen was his first stage work, a charming rural vignette that contains all the essential features of a ballet-divertissement couched in writing that enchantingly evokes the 18thcentury. Collaborating with his teacher, the Abbé Georg Vogler, Meyerbeer composed DerAdmiralin1811. The following year saw Wirt und Gast with the vivid Oriental exoticism of its Janissary music, while Romildae Constanza, his first Italian opera, shows his complete assimilation of Rossinian models.

Reviews

“…Performances are lively and colourful … The sound is fine. Admirers of French Light Music … should enjoy these performances immensely.”

Roger Hecht – American Record Guide – March/April 2023

“Convincing performances of some delightful – and hitherto largely unknown – scores.”

Rob Maynard – MusicWeb-International.com – 22 November 2022

“… this release is an important contribution to the history of Meyerbeer, and it is all the more pleasing because the music is played expressively at a good level.” ****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 29 October 2022
