Naxos is releasing vol. 3 of its Auber Overture series, conducted by our own recent member, Dario Salvi. Amazon USA shows a slightly confusing "Original Release Date: 2021. Date First Available: November 28, 2020"

Thank you Sharkkb8! :)
I hope you like the CD - it is the first in the series featuring a Symphony Orchestra and depicting Auber's growing confidence in his own composing powers! Lots of world premiere recordings as well as the classic La Muette De Portici! I tried to give it a personal take to it and respect Auber's very clear metronome markings....let's hope it will be appreciated!
Enjoy and Happy New Year guys! :)

Thank you!
Congratulations, Dario. This is a splendid project, and I am really looking forward to hearing the 3rd disc.
Thank you! Let me know your opinion please!
on a similiar thread I reviewed volume 3. I believe it is still active. The question I have is about the 2016 release.
Hello! I cannot find your review of Volume 3. Do you have a link?
What is the question about the 2016 release?
Cheers,
Dario
https://sdtom.wordpress.com/ for review The 2016 release while it offers material you didn't record with the 1 seems incomplete and out of place if you have done 5 volumes for Naxos.

Hello! Thank you for the delightful review! :)
Regarding the 2016 CD - I was not involved in it but I know it was discontinued as a series for one problem or the other. I will include hose works as well scattered in future volumes. Auber wrote SOOOOO much music for different productions of the same Opera that a complete Series of all his works will be a really extensive work.
Enjoy!
For my part, I thoroughly enjoyed volumes 1 and 2, and will be listening to them again later today. It was the Reader´s Digest recording of The Crown Diamonds that first excited my interest in collecting LPs!
To keep the record straight I will do the first two volumes of your series Dario and I will include the 2016 recording as well. I adore him so much like others on this forum and your recordings are soooo good. I look forward to so much more.
OW! Thank you guys! I am so pleased you are enjoying the CDs. Volume 1 and 2 feature a Chamber Orchestra as Auber at the time was still using that formation. From Volume 3 onwards the sound is Symphonic with a full orchestra sometimes featuring surprises!
I am waiting for volume 4 from Naxos
Volume 4 will come out in the summer
Come to Minnesota and conduct the Summer Pops orchestra my friend.
