About

This is the third recording to represent Giulio Prandi’s interpretative research on the great Italian choral repertory, after the special and successful releases of works by Jommelli and Pergolesi, cornerstones of the golden age of the Neapolitan school. Faced with the challenge posed by Rossini’s essential masterpiece, Prandi has chosen an original and courageous path, following deep reflection. The new critical edition of the Rossini Foundation of Pesaro is used here for the first time in a recording studio; three rare instruments roughly contemporary with the work – pianos by rard and Pleyel, a D bain harmonium – have been selected to ensure an authentic, vital, luminous sound, guaranteed by the artistry of the keyboardist and professor at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis Francesco Corti; four illustrious soloists have been engaged: Sandrine Piau, Jos Maria Lo Monaco, Edgardo Rocha and Christian Senn. Finally, the fundamental contribution of the Coro Ghislieri, an acknowledged world-class ensemble in early repertory, sets the seal on a recording of rare merit.

Christmas 2021

Alongside their impressive dynamic range, Coro Ghislieri bring Rossini’s fugal passages to life...Most impressive is the approach to recording; there is no bombast, but a close-miked evocation of a private space populated by individual voices. The soloists don’t blend seamlessly, furthering the sense of a domestic performance.

6th November 2021

The pianos and harmonium (played by Francesco Corti, Cristiano Gaudio and Daniel Perer) date from the 19th century, colouring the sound, sharpening contours, lightening the textures...this performance brings out the idiosyncratic variety of Rossini’s music, at once operatic, sacred and quirky.

International Classical Music Awards 2022

Perhaps it is only with this recording (which for the first time makes use of the new critical edition), wonderfully conducted by Giulio Prandi with the Ghislieri Choir and four top class singers, that we can truly understand the mysteries of the old Rossini, who winks at the opera theatre but from a now distanced perspective.
