Meyerbeer / Barcelona Sym Orch / Nesterowicz Ballet Music From The Operas: Les Huguenots CD

2014 release. Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791-1864) Ballet Music from the Operas performed by the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michak Nesterowicz. Recorded at L'Auditori, Pau Casals Hall, Barcelona, Spain, July 3-6, 20102. Meyerbeer was one of the most significant opera composers of all time. The four grand operas represented here brought him his greatest fame, with Les Huguenots being one of the most performed of all operas. Meyerbeer's contributions to the French tradition of op?ra-ballet acquired legendary status, including the ghostly Ballet of the Nuns from Robert le Diable; the exotic orchestral color of the Marche indienne in L'Africaine; and the virtuoso Ballet of the Skaters from Le Proph?te in which the dancers famously glided over the stage using roller skates.
