Another win for La Princesse de Trébizonde
We’re delighted to announce that today the OPUS KLASSIK Awards named our studio release of Offenbach’s La Princesse de Trébizonde as its Opera Recording of the Year. This is the second international award we’ve won for our latest Offenbach release after being named Best Opera Recording at the OPER! Awards 2024 at the start of the year. Our recording was also a finalist in the 2024 International Classical Music Awards. In 2019, we won the same OPUS KLASSIK Award for our recording of Rossini’s Semiramide.
Recorded with London Philharmonic Orchestra and French opera specialist conductor Paul Daniel, our September 2023 release of Offenbach’s comic operetta marked the premiere studio recording of musicologist Jean-Christophe Keck’s new critical edition of the three-act Paris version from December 1869. The recording also includes previously unpublished extracts from the original two-act Baden-Baden version first heard in July 1869.
