Roussel, Albert (1869-1937)

Description:

Roussel's comedy, "Aunt Caroline's Will". After the wealthy and eccentric Caroline died, the will she left behind stated that she would give her property to her children who would be born that year. Caroline, a single woman, had three nieces, one of whom was a nun, and the other two were childless, and the three sisters devised various ways to inherit the estate. After its premiere in Olomouc, Czech Republic in 1936, it was revised into a French version for performance in France and presented at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1937, but it was not well received by Parisian audiences at the time. After Roussel's death, at the request of his widow, the composer Marcel Michalowicz revised it from three acts to one act. This performance also uses Mihalovich's revised version. The Orchestre des Flivorites Parisiens, conducted by Dylan Corley, and a group of French singers will give a full performance of Roussel's elegant and graceful music. Naxos Japan
