This CD does not feature my usual taste in classical music. I usually favor symphonic fare and seldom feature the lighter stuff, but this CD is an outstanding exception! When I have had my continuous outpouring of Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, et al, I sometimes go for a little break in the tension. This selection is the perfect choice! Offenbach wrote truly entertaining and slightly sarcastic music that is consistently delightful to the ear.If you like an occasional light and fun-filled break in your musical venue, you certainly will be pleased with this selection.

This CD is just that - delightful. After hearing some of these selections on Public Radio, I searched out and purchased this CD. It is a wonderful musical delight at work or at home.

I first heard this as a teen, being introduced to classical music. I was hooked! The rhythm and pace keep you glued to the edge of your seat- an absolute must for an afficianado!
