Gioachino Rossini - Semiramide (Frizza/ Ligorio)

[@alvarogarciabarbosa3199]

Rossini y el "Bel canto" un gran sinónimo conjuntamente con Bellini y Donizetti. Esas florituras son adorables, encantadoras. Grandioso Rossini!!

[@WilliamCharlton-Perkins]

What an amazing performance of this grandest of Rossini's incomparable Italian masterworks! Bravi tutti!

[@elaineduncan1929]

Bellissima produzione di Semiramide alla Fenice, che è poi il SUO Teatro. Bene tutto, cantanti, orchestra, direttore, messa in scena e regia. Grazie per averla condivisa. Un plauso particolare a Teresa Iervolino.

Tuve el acierto de ir a una de estas funciones, en la siempre maravillosa Venecia. En una de las salas del teatro estaba expuesto el manuscrito original de la obra, recientemente restaurado. Fue una función brillante, la puesta en escena luce mucho más en directo que en esta grabación. Iervolino soberbia. Los otros tres sobresalientes. Cuatro horas que pasaron en un suspiro. Una noche memorable.

[@kallekasper7297]

Il terzo di sèguito lavoro òttimo di maestro Frizza, che ho sento recentemente: "Aida" al Teatro La Fenice, "I Pirata" al Teatro alla Scala, e "Semiramide" adesso. Lui sta alla fila prima degli direttori italiani e quindi mondiali. Il cast buono, soprattutto Signore/Signori Iervolino e Esposito. Ma, ahimè, la Signora Pratt, la cantante eccellenta, ha i grandi problemi con la voce. Paragonate la in "Convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali" (La Scala, 2009), e adesso in "Semiramide". La sua voce qui - come l'uccello ferito. Ma lei era molto suggestiva alle ambedue finale. Il allestimento anche non pessimo, mi piace l'immagìne di Nino, quello è la scena diffìcilissima per ogni regista. Penso, che Rossini sarèbbe contento.

Apparently people hired as singers are now allowed to just fit the coloratura in at their vocal convenience, no matter where the notes fall in a particular tempo, or just leave out the notes if it worries them.......got it.

La exigencia vocal de esta partitura raya en la tortura para los interpretes solistas .

This is an impressive production, but what was Rossini thinking when he wrote an opera nearly four hours long?

He was thinking of those of us who like to work while listening to this glorious music, and can't get enough of it.
