Franz and Débora Halász continue their revelatory exploration of Ferdinando and Gustavo Carulli’s neglected yet highly appealing music.
As popular with the glamorous Parisian salon set as with music-loving families who played it at home, these sparkling and melodious works brim with virtuosity and vivacity. Original compositions rub shoulders with mélanges of beloved opera melodies and arrangements of operatic overtures, variations, waltzes and dazzlingly dancing duos.
