 Voices in their Prime.....so worth listening to!
In one of Rossini's less performed work...L'Assedio di Corinthe, Sills and Horne put out all the stops and trills. This recording displays two actors/singers whom I have never heard singing together in a recorded opera. What a treat....... Ms.Horne, a well known Rossinian singer, captivates with her alluring delta-tones; it is Ms.Sills who puts her talents here to surprisingly melodic heights.....and together they make beautiful music. The other mentionable voice in this opera is that of Franco Bonisolli, who also surprises with wonderful tones. And let's not forget Thomas Schippers, the conductor, who gives the lead singers great direction with the La Scala forces. If you are unfamiliar with this opera, and most are, this opera with same cast and conductor is marketed under the "Grand Tier" Opera D'Oro label which has a detailed libretto. A Great Listen!
