Rossini: Complete Overtures.(Sound Recording Review)
Sir Neville Marriner, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Philips Trio 473 967-2.
When these 26 overtures appeared on four separate discs between 1974 and 1980, they were a revelation. Marriner and his comparatively small ensemble had gone back and found Rossini's initial, lighter orchestrations for these works and come up with as delightful renditions as anyone had ever heard in modern times. Now, to be able to purchase all of them in a single three-CD set at far less cost than they first sold for is a bargain, indeed.
