'There is more Spain in Offenbach's brain than in Spain itself', said a journalist entranced by Maître Péronilla. Understandably so, given the charm and humor of this operetta in which no fewer than twenty-two characters are kept busy unravelling a preposterously complicated love story. And the libretto is all the better for having been penned by the composer himself. Castanets, tambourines and triangle merrily punctuate one of Offenbach's last scores, which multiplies impressive vocal ensembles while not renouncing intimate numbers of great poetry. Our world premiere recording features specialists of this repertory such as Éric Huchet and Loïc Félix, but also opera singers more unexpected in this context - including Véronique Gens - who audibly delight in letting their hair down in such joyful company, ably supported by the talents of the Orchestre National de France and the Chœur de Radio France.

Un'opera apparentemente minore ma carica di melodie piacevoli e memorabili ottimo cast ed eseguzione pressoché ideale. Come sempre l'apparato di note -saggi è esauriente e di altisisma qualità. La grafica risulta particolarmente curata ed accattivante e la qualità editoriale è elevatissima ed assai apprezzabile, uni ca nota dolente la stampa tono su tono della copertina per quanto piacevole esteticamente rende quasi impossibile la lettura del testo
Ah ! Si seulement tous les spectacles et enregistrements offenbachiens pouvaient être de cette qualité ! Vite monsieur PBZ, il y a tellement d'autres Péronilla qui attendent que vous vous penchiez sur leurs berceaux : Barbe-Bleue, Boule de Neige, Géorgiennes, Toto, Trébizonde, Geneviéve, Pont des Soupirs, Roi Carotte, voyage dans la lune et... Hoffmann !!! merci pour maintenant et pour le futur...
Une oeuvre peu connue qui se situe pourtant dans la grande maturité d'Offenbach, 2 ans avant les Contes d'Hoffmann. L'argument est plutôt mince, mais le ton, l'esprit, la vivacité ... Servi par une distribution excellente. Vraiment une très bonne découverte
