Yes, Rossini, the seldom mentioned one, as far as I can tell. I'm scratching around, trying to dig myself out of mere knowledge of the Barber and isolated overtures and arias from other operas. So I'm getting the 1972 Guillaume Tell cd as I posted elsewhere. But are there other recordings or videos that our denizens would recommend to me and to other Rossini-deficient hopefuls?
I've found these two items, which look interesting. If Abbado & co. did Rossini proud on the recordings in this compilation, it would be a steal at the price. The Cenerentola dvd merited some fine reviews.
Any comments, opinions, reviews, suggestions or even sterile wisecracks will be welcome. :tiphat:
