    "Famous" is Fabulous!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2010*

"Famous French Overtures" is another of the dozens of Decca Ansermet Legacy discs that I have picked up in the past year.  The import Australian Eloquence label has been doing a commendable job reissuing the vast catalog of this wonderful conductor, but they deserve extra praise for confining so much of the previously widely available music to a small selection of reissues, so that releases such as this one have NO duplicated material.  To the best of my knowledge, the only piece that appeared previously on CD in the States is the Lalo, and it was on a 20-year old (now OOP) disc in the old London/Jubilee volumes -- they didn't even plop one of these tracks on

    ] (see my review).  As a result, all of these fabulous overtures were virgin territory for me, and I relished the listening experience all the more because of it.  While I enjoy listening to Ansermet and the OSR play just about anything, it is in French fare that he truly excels.  Interested parties should pick up "Famous French Overtures" while they can, before it's infamously deleted.

Most who are symphonic music listeners will have heard these pieces before.  I heard Ambrose Thomas' pieces on Sirius XM and like them enough to seek out this disc.  All of the pieces here are interesting and tuneful.  The performances are fine for the most part and the sound quality is very good.

    Beyond Berlioz, Gounod, and Saint Saens
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2011*

Uncommon 19th century repertoire, wonderfully wrought ouvertures, in splendid performances. The Lalo overture to his opera Le Roi d'Ys by itself is worth the entire collection.  The Auber overtures convey the precocious musical professionalism of the mid-century Parisian theatrical and operatic world that so attracted Wagner and later, Stravinsky.  Enjoy!
