Antonio Pappano, the world’s greatest active opera conductor, together with Italy’s premier symphony orchestra, the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, bring us this astounding collection of the very best of Rossini’s opera overtures, recorded in concert and the studio at their home venue, the Sala Santa Cecilia, Auditorium Parco della Musica, Rome.
“Since I started conducting the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia I have never ceased to be amazed by the ‘direct line’ it seems to have to Rossini’s music. The articulation, humour, drama and verve they display gives me such joy that I am thrilled that this album has become a reality after our other more ‘serious’ Rossini outings for CD. A special thank you to our wind soloists for showing us another side of Rossini’s glittering instrumental genius.” Antonio Pappano
