Auber's overtures were once as popular as those by Rossini and Suppé, with no less a figure than Tchaikovsky commenting on the 'elegant clarity of his harmonisation, his delightful and striking melodies … and beautiful instrumentation.' Full evidence is provided here in music that ranges across Auber's creative periods where finesse of orchestral detail and piquant harmonies are met by verve and wit. Some of his least well-known music is encountered, as are scores that explore vivid dance themes, all presented with Auber's gossamer orchestration and lightness of touch.
