Overture to the Opera Mignon (1866)
BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yan Pascal Tortelier
Mignon is an opéra comique (or opera in its second version) in three acts. The original French libretto was by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, based on Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre. The Italian version was translated by Giuseppe Zaffira. The opera is mentioned in James Joyce's "The Dead" (Dubliners) and Willa Cather's The Professor's House. Thomas's goddaughter Mignon Nevada was named after the main character.[
Bravo bravo bravo bravo brilliance fantastic grandiose music super
Heard this piece on radio recently. I am really enjoyable. But presenter tell me the piece of music. I don't know what presenter said. Then ask her by e-mail then reply me. Actually, it is the first time i know the piece of music and composer and never heard before.
Me too. I heard this piece of music on a radio program of RTHK radio4 this morning. The presenter told audience the title and orchestra. But it was still puzzling to me. I searched for the title with Minion Overture to start with. Lucky that I finally found Mignon Overture. 😊❤
I do love it when you can listen to the music, whilst following the full score. Thank you
Happy birthday Charles Louis Ambroise Thomas!
One of my musical loves from years ago. Heard it on the radio, never thought I'd find it again. But fully a decade later, here you are. What a gift, what a treasure! Thank and bless you!

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you, as ever, for taking the time to produce this.
Que j'aime ce "pays où fleuri l'oranger".
What a fun piece of music :-)
😊
That ending is so good
And that's how mignons were born...
There's good music, there's bad music, and there's Ambroise Thomas
Well, is Thomas - in your opinion - good or bad? Or neither nor?
andy thomas's comment is a quote by composer Emmanuel Chabrier. I'm actually not sure if either of them (Chabrier and andy thomas) mean it in a good way or not!
When one French composer talks about another, it is usually an insult, overt or covert. Nowadays most of Chabrier's works are ignored. A few hang on at Pops concert. Someone who has time on their hands can compare how many videos have been uploaded to You Tube of both composers. I have three cats to take care of >^..^
There are good comments, there are bad comments, and there are TH-cam comments.
I played the Raymond overture a year or so back and rather enjoyed it. Safe to say I was the only one in the band who did mind.
ah, che piacere!
creation waiting for the resurrection of spring
Parts of this piece sound really impressionistic, in my opinion
GREAT MUSIC GREAT COMPOSER❤❤❤❤❤
