About
"The second volume in this series (Volume 1 is on 8.574005) continues to explore little-known examples of Auber’s elegant and refined operatic music. Julie was his first stage work, its fantasialike beauty foreshadowing the operas, opéras-comiques and lyric dramas to come. Striking melodies and haunting episodes abound in these overtures and entr’actes, and there is restrained yet fragrant Iberian colour in the overture to Léocadie. The Violin Concerto is lightly scored and gentle, with a tarantella-like finale full of folk vitality.

...the performances sparkle, never lapsing into heavy-handedness or routine. The Rossini-like climaxes are handled with a sure touch, and throughout this program, conductor Salvi demonstrates why he already is regarded as a specialist in Auber’s music.
