Have you ventured in to Rossini's operatic world? If you haven't this set (recommended to me by Pepe) is just wonderful, well worth having:fergus wrote:

Re: Recent Purchases
I have indeed ventured there Seán but I am not all that convinced or enamoured to be honest. I just personally find the operatic music of Rossini too reminiscent of Mozart to be individualistic or interesting enough for my taste. Will probably be excommunicated for that but there you are!Seán wrote: Have you ventured in to Rossini's operatic world?

Well that does surprise me Fergus. I can definitely hear Mozart's influences in his operas. I find his music world enchanting and very rich indeed. Interesting.fergus wrote:I have indeed ventured there Seán but I am not all that convinced or enamoured to be honest.
