Janacek Phil Orch/Salvi - Franz von Supp�: Mozart - Incidental Music

Universally famous for his glorious overtures Light Cavalry and Poet and Peasant (Naxos 8.553935), Franz von Supp� was one of the greatest exponents of the golden Age of Viennese Operetta. But he was also a master of incidental music for popular plays, one of which is Mozart � an example of K�nstler-Lebensbild (�life portrait of an artist�). Supp�s music subtly accompanies the stage action as the story of the composition of Mozart�s music unfolds, offering a potpourri of Mozart�s works served up with Supp�s trademark flair. Die Afrikareise presents a piquant and brilliant travelogue.
