GIOACHINO ROSSINI (1792-1868): Le Siège de Corinthe.

Description: There are very few recordings of either version of this opera (Maometto II being its 1820 original) and a live 1992 Nuova Era recording is the only competition of this slimmed-down, less vocally florid but more stageworthy French version done for Paris in 1826. 2 CDs. French libretto available on-line. Majella Cullagh (soprano), Marc Sala, Michael Spyres (tenors), Lorenzo Regazzo (bass), Camerata Bach Choir, Poznan, Virtuosi Brunensis;  Jean-Luc Tingaud.
