Description:

Pros:

• The assembled quartet of soloists, who come with some serious spinto credentials, goes along way to show how Rossini’s score (written long after he had given up opera) was influenced by the emergence of Verdi.
• Carlo Maria Giulini finds a deft balance between classical precision and Italian romancticism.

Cons:

• None to mention

BONUS:
Teresa Zylis-Gara sings “Selva opaca” from Guglielmo Tell
