With "Die schöne Galathée," Franz von Suppé (1819–1895) presented one of his first major contributions to Viennese operetta in 1865. The overture captivates with its wit, charming melodies, and subtle musical wit—a true classic of light music. Gerald Oswald has brought this concert favorite to life in a lively arrangement for symphonic wind orchestra. With a keen sense of timbre and dynamics, he effectively brings the refinement of Suppé's original to the large wind instrument stage—an ideal piece for gala concerts and festive occasions.
