Recorded: Walthamstow Town Hall, 1966 “This is simply one of the great opera recordings in the catalogue...In Sutherland's interpretation, Semiramide is not so much a Lady Macbeth as a passionate, sympathetic woman...Horne is well contrasted, direct and masculine in style...and Bonynge keeps the whole opera together with his alert, rhythmic control of tension and pacing. Vintage Decca sound is the icing on the cake.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Following his triumphant visit to Vienna in 1822, when several of his operas were extremely well received, international success beckoned for Rossini. First performed at La Fenice, Venice in 1823, Semiramide was Rossini’s last Italian opera, written at the height of his creative powers. Its subject is Greek tragedy for which librettist Gaetano Rossi drew on an adaptation by Voltaire. Instrumentally sophisticated and classically structured, the opera remains one of the most remarkable examples of Rossini’s cultivation of bel canto. |
