Offenbach's La Périchole (1868) will never cease to delight music lovers of all persuasions. Marc Minkowski - long one of the composer's prophets - was keen to pay tribute to him with this world premiere recording on period instruments, in the company of the young school of French singers, including the bewitching Aude Extrémo, the dashing Stanislas de Barbeyrac and the hilarious Alexandre Duhamel. Combining fashionable rhythms with the most unexpected touches of folklore, the score is a veritable flood of hit numbers. How can one not be swept away by the insolence of the Seguidilla, the frenzy of the Bolero or the furious rhythm of the Prison Trio? Never before, perhaps, had Offenbach gone so far in caricaturing political leaders - nor used drunkenness to resolve the imbroglio of inextricable sentimental relationships. And indeed, the 'Tipsy Arietta' is one of the composer's best-known numbers. Cheers!
