L'opera di questo compositore è profondamente intrisa di una passione per la musica sacra del XVI secolo, una base che informa le sue opere liriche drammatiche, in particolare la sua celebrata adattamento dell'epopea di Goethe. La sua musica è caratterizzata da melodie fluide e da una notevole abilità scenica, che gli hanno procurato un'eterna popolarità. Oltre all'opera, la sua produzione comprende profondi oratori e canzoni evocative, che ottennero un significativo riconoscimento durante la sua vita.






An excerpt from Gounod's most famous opera makes a wonderful programming option. Vigorous, robust, and energetic, it's a proven winner.
Instrumentation: 1.2.2.2: 2.0.0.0 This charming work in four movements was requested by Charles Gounod by a Parisian wind ensemble called Societe de Musique Pout Instruments a Vent led by famed flautist Paul Taffanel. Written for flute, two oboes, two clarinets, two horns, and two bassoo
Written during a creative break from opera, this symphony by Gouod premiered in 1855 in Paris. Its publication included scores and arrangements, notably one for piano duet by a young Georges Bizet. This arrangement likely inspired Bizet to compose his own Symphony in C major, which remained largely overlooked until after his death. The work reflects the interconnectedness of composers and their influences during the 19th century, showcasing the evolution of symphonic music during that period.
