Dario SalviAbout
Daniel-François-Esprit Auber was a leading composer of French opera from the 1820s onwards and was enormously popular in his day, but aside from the hit opera Fra Diavolo there are few recordings of his music currently available, and most of the overtures and incidental music recorded here are world premieres performed from archive sources.
This collection of overtures follows on from another world premiere, our recording of Auber’s La Sirène released in April 2019. This was considered ‘engaging and entertaining… David Reiland secures bright and breezy playing from his appropriately named Orchestre des Frivolités Parisiennes’ by Gramophone, and ‘a really recommendable release’ by Pizzicato.
Conductor Dario Salvi specializes in the restoration and performance of rare works, in particular those of Meyerbeer and Auber. His Naxos recording of Sacred Works by Meyerbeer (8573907) was considered ‘a good candidate for “find of the month,” for it shows Meyerbeer’s originality from a very early age’ in Barnes & Noble.
