JACQUES OFFENBACH (1819-1880): Cours méthodique de duos for 2 Cellos, Opp. 49, 51 and 54.

Description: Offenbach meant these works for instructional purposes (they increase in difficulty as they progress) but he doesn't surpress his sense of humor as the instruments imitate horns and tubas, rustic choruses, hymns et alia. So, fun to listen to even if you're not a cellist. 2 CDs. Andrea Noferini, Giovanni Sollima (cellos).
