The second CD in Pentatone’s dance music series lets you savour the vibrant, famous compositions from the German speaking countries. Connected by the power of music, inspired by fin de siècle, this CD glorifies the influential ballet/theatre/opera music from the interwar period.There are vigorous performances of famous works and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande is in top form. All of the music is familiar, yet there is always room for conductor Kazuki Yamada and the orchestra to approach it with verve, inviting listeners to remember what they enjoyed so much about it in the first place.
“Kazuki Yamada and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande are delightfully playful in the pizzicato Polka that opens this short suite based on themes by Johann Strauss II. An incredibly jolly performance that had me smiling from beginning to end!” Presto Classical
