About This Song
About "La Périchole, IJO 64: O mon cher amant, je te jure (Arr. for Cello and Orchestra)" by Sol Gabetta
Offenbach's La Périchole aria, arranged for cello and orchestra, becomes a coquettish sigh in Gabetta's hands. The melody flirts with the listener—'O mon cher amant'—its charm laced with a knowing irony, a smile that hides a tear.
