On sale -50%Rossini's opera Maometto II might not ring many bells. It was first performed in Naples in 1820. But what if we told you that the 1826 French version was named Le Siège de Corinthe… ? Of course, the revision for the French version was such that it is easy to think of them as two different works, if only because Maometto II deals with the Turkish-Venetian war of the 15th century (Mehmet II is a historical figure, an Ottoman Sultan), whereas Le Siège de Corinthe is pushed forwards into the 1820 Greek War of Independence! This is a recording of the original 1820 version and not one of the many reworkings that the piece underwent over the decades. Here we find Rossini in a most unusual mood: few bravura numbers and an almost unbroken writing style, it’s very close to the libretto and its incessant dramatic leaps. It is hardly surprising that Rossini didn't find much success with the piece’s many Italian performances. In a way it was too modern; it dared to deviate radically from the standards that everyone expected at the time. This is a live recording (so excuse the occasional rogue noises from the stage) made at the Rossini in Wildbad festival in 2017 with the Virtuosi Brunensis (an orchestra made up of Brno's finest stage musicians) and the Poznań Camerata Bach Choir, a fine set. © SM/Qobuz
