Character is what it's all about

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These are stunning performances, brilliantly recorded! Having been exposed to the overly romantic lush modern recordings it was a breath of fresh air to hear Rossini's inventions as close to his original intensions as possible.

This is, of course, conveyed to best effect with a period orchestra, but make no mistake - Norrington's realizations from original manuscripts (where available) let us hear the genius of these gems as never before.

It begs the question: why are there not more period perfomances?

I tend to believe it is of little consequence while this landmark recording is available - and at bargain price!

Highly informative notes included."
