MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Offenbach: La Perichole (Highlights)

"The complete work lasts around 100 minutes. This highlights represents a generous selection of the music and the work as a whole. It is 67 minutes of unalloyed joy. I strongly recommend it. If the highlights tempt you to go out and buy the complete work with these artists so much the better. You will doubtless enjoy that to and perhaps go on to try some of Offenbach's other works that have made it on to disc. The accompanying booklet has a brief synopsis, regrettably not track related, in English, French and German as well as a track listing and brief description of the characters." MusicWeb July 2004
