There are many compilations of overtures, and they have been recorded by great conductors like Giulini, Reiner or Abbado – but none of them have contained all thirty-six overtures by Gioacchino Rossini. That gap is filled here by Donato Renzetti and the Filarmonica Gioacchino Rossini. Based on the critical edition from the Rossini Foundation of Pesaro (the composer's home town on the Adriatic Sea), this anthology will thrill fans of opera, and all those who love Rossini's mettle. In it we find an able orchestrator, and a creator with inexhaustible melodic verve. While many overtures are still very popular today, others represent real discoveries. Over time, Rossini would often return to earlier works, to serve as the opening of a new opera, which led one wag to comment that while Beethoven wrote four overtures for a single opera (Leonore-Fidelio), Rossini wrote one overture for four operas. Among the discoveries in this release, we should cite Armida, Robert Bruce, Ivanhoe, Adelaide di Borgogna, Sigismondo, La Gazzetta and Torvaldo e Dorliska to give an idea of how many of Rossini's works remain to be rescued from obscurity 150 years on from his death. This new, and very welcome, album is one of the first steps. © François Hudry/Qobuz
