Classical Music

The so-called Rossini Renaissance (post-WWII) was an outright revolution, as it led to the rediscovery and staging of a great number of Rossini operas, especially of the serious genre. Otello, one of the finest of Rossini's serious works, marked one of the first encounters in the history of Italian opera between a composer and Shakespeare's theatre. Although Rossini later revised the ending away from it's fateful, tragic outcome, this production, recorded live in 2014 at Antwerp's Vlaanderen Opera, is based on the Rossini Foundation's critical edition and has the first, tragic finale.

Rossini: IL Barbier Di Sivigia (highlights) Performer: Ra�l Gim�nez (Tenor), H�kan Hageg�rd (Baritone), Alessandro Corbelli (Baritone), Jennifer Larmore (Mezzo Soprano), Barbara Frittoli (Soprano), Samuel Ramey (Bass) Conductor: Jes�s Lopez-Cobos Orchestra/Ensemble: Lausanne Chamber Orchestra Written: 1816; Italy The Barber of Seville, or The Futile Precaution (Italian: Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L'inutile precauzione) is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with an Italian libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The libretto was based on Pierre Beaumarchais's French comedy Le Barbier de S�ville (1775). The premi�re of Rossini's opera (under the title Almaviva, o sia L'inutile precauzione) took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome. Rossini's Barber has proven to be one of the greatest masterpieces of comedy within music, and has been described as the opera buffa of all "opere buffe". Even after two hundred years, it's popularity on the modern opera stage attests to that greatness.
