The enduring popularity of Rossini's operas is a testament to their wit and inventiveness, every overture a superb portrait of each ensuing drama. Volume 2 includes rarities such as the lively student work, Grand'overtura 'obbligata a contrabasso', and Matilde of Shabran, set in medieval Spain, alongside perennial hits such as The Italian Girl in Algiers, La Cenerentola (Cinderella), and the farcical comedy of Il barbiere di Siviglia.
"Several of these operas are no longer in the current repertory, but that doesn't stop the overtures from being delightful listening. The 5.0 96K/24bit surround audio is excellent, as are the performances." (Five Stars AudAud.com)
"Alongside old favorites like La scala di seta and Guillaume Tell, you'll encounter the little-known curtain-raisers to Ricciardo e Zoraide or Bianca e Falliero. Crisply played with good solo efforts throughout, and very nicely recorded." PSAudio.com
