Illustrations de l'opéra L'Africaine de Meyerbeer, S415

Meyerbeer has not enjoyed anything like the good press in recent times that he had during his lifetime, but it would be a mistake to undervalue him to the point of dismissal. There are plenty of musical reasons as well as dramatic ones why works like Les Huguenots, Le Prophète, or L’Africaine should have proved such successes. Liszt’s two paraphrases make an excellent advertisement for L’Africaine, and pianists at least should consider a speedy revival.
