For International Cello Day, here’s an 1867 “pantomime comic” by Gustave Doré, a whimsical series of caricatures of Jacques Offenbach to illustrate the influence and increased popularity of the instrument. In 1858, Offenbach engaged Doré to provide scenic designs for his operetta, “Orpheus in the Underworld.” Doré rendered a “serious” engraved portrait of the cellist and composer in 1860.
One of Offenbach’s cello duets here:
The CPO cd of Offenbach’s cello music is recommendable.
Joel Wagoner Thanks, Joel. I hope you’re enjoying a lovely holiday season and that you had a good International Cello Day!
