Notes:

This album presents a rich survey of lesser-known 18th-century operatic overtures, mostly in the comic or light opera tradition.
The performances aim to revive overlooked gems from composers like Boieldieu, Paër, and Salieri, alongside more familiar names like Haydn.
Richard Bonynge, known for his stylish and historically informed interpretations, conducts the English Chamber Orchestra with flair and finesse.
