IT'S NOT LISZT OR CHOPIN, BUT IT'S FUN

"I have always been a fan of Offenbach's operettas and cello music, as well interested in the composer himself (he was a fascinating character). I bought volume 1 of this series, having seen that it contained "Zimmer's Waltz" which was bequeathed to him by Rudolf Zimmer, according to Offenbach's biography, "Orpheus in Paris." I enjoyed the pleasant and melodic music so much that I bought the second album as well. This volume also has a transcription of the "Galop infernal," which is a lot of fun. It is not 'tour-de-force' music, but both albums are delightful, and are excellent background music for reading or housework, as you can pay as much attention to the music as you want."
