A bit of info...

Brett Farrell | Cape May, NJ USA | 03/02/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is just a bit of information for the curious. 'Salon Pitzelberger' is Offenbach's 'Monsieur Choufleuri Restera Chez Lui Le' only in German.

It is sung very well, the sound here is crystal clear and the singing very good. The slight information included with the CD is only in German. The orchestra is minimal but manages to sound very large and delightful. This is worth owning for two reasons. One, the qulaity is superb and two, if you are a Offenbachanite, it's a rare chance to own a rare Offenbach opera.

To finish though, the EMI version is better. Offenbach always comes off better in French. To hear the rousing part where the host and his daughter and her lover pretend to be famous opera singers sing in German really is subpar to the original french. I'm the sure the Duc de Morny would agree."
