Join us on Zoom for the release of Rossini in 1819. Hosted by Henry Little and Roger Parker, the event features special guests David Parry, Carmen Giannattasio and Eleonora Di Cintio.
The limited edition of three sought-after opere serie features stellar performances by international bel canto champions, including Gregory Kunde, Jennifer Larmore, Carmen Giannattasio and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo. Premiered only ten months apart in 1819, these three operas fell out of the repertoire soon after Rossini’s death but have, over the last few decades, been rehabilitated in the operatic canon for the joy of Rossini lovers. Remastered to the best audio quality and featuring a specially commissioned essay by Rossini specialist Eleonora Di Cintio, these recordings, unavailable for many years, will delight opera collectors and Rossini fans.
‘An exemplary recording on this specialist label for unusual operatic repertoire.’ Gramophone – Ermione
