About "Orpheus in the Underworld: Can Can" by Charles Gerhardt
Gerhardt unleashes Offenbach's can-can with brass and percussion at full tilt—a riot of corsets and footlights. The gaiety is almost aggressive, a whirling dervish of strings that masks a darker, satirical bite beneath the high-kicking exuberance. Pure, unrepentant spectacle.
