85 reviews for Overtures / Barber of Seville / William Tell

  1. Dan Betelmann –

    I largely agree with one of the preceding reviewers that these renditions are lithe and lean. I also agree that Reiner’s vintage versions are more skillfully played, to the point where that album would probably be my preference between the two choices, if I were forced to opt for one or the other. Fortunately, I don’t have to make that decision and have both the Abbado and Reiner on my shelf. This disc in particular is brimming with energy, and Rossini’s music truly sparkles from the enthusiasm of the players. In this instance, less (orchestra) can indeed be more. Recommended.

  2. Music Lover forever –

    I’ve been collecting recordings for 60 years. I was a professional musician for most of my life. I grew up on the great Reiner recording and was sure it could never be surpassed. I was wrong! Abbado gets this music in a way I’ve never heard before. The orchestra (strings, winds, percussion) negotiates every lick perfectly. If you love these overtures, you must have this recording.

  3. LONZBURGER –

    Dynamic

  4. Carmen999 –

    Toda la música de este cd es muy alegre y suena de maravilla. Para un regalo a alguien que quiera conocer a Rossini es perfecto.

  5. Bernardino –

    Rossini sets the heather on fire, great music from a brilliant CD with fantastic sound.

  6. Ellieanna –

    Love the vicissitudes of emotion in Rossini’s music.

  7. Sanford Schulhofer –

    all overtures very good. having best overtures in one place very convenient. william tell one of the best with the lone ranger and flash gorden themes.

  8. Martin Rohner –

    mein vater hat sich diese cd gewünscht und er findet sie einfach nur klasse – somit alles wunderbar, 5 sterne.

  9. Morag S –

    Great listening for a pick me up, while driving, or to inspire. Almost as good as going to Italy to hear Rossini’s work. The grandkids enjoy their copy, too.

  10. Huboboe –

    I have been a symphony musician for more than 50 years and this is the best William Tell Overture I have ever heard!

  11. Carmen Costero –

    A pesar de que las óperas de Rossini no se tocan casi nunca, sus oberturas son ideales para disfrutar el genio de este compositor en plenitud.

  12. Robert Lee –

    Lovely collection of classical earworms!!😎

  13. J Ludwig –

    Everything that you would expect from a well recorded CD. All the pieces are well known and of course, you can’t go wrong with a Deutsche Grammophon product. It’s a pure digital recording as in DDD. It’s a worthy addition to my classical collection of loved music.
