This live festival performance captures the energy and immediacy of a staged Rossini rarity, bringing together leading bel canto specialists at the Rossini-heavy Pesaro season where such rediscoveries are a hallmark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRossini’s Matilde is a sparkling example of early-19th-century Italian bel canto, full of virtuosic ensembles, agile coloratura and dramatic turns that demand both technical precision and theatrical flair. In this performance the singers negotiate the score’s vocal fireworks with panache: the young tenor’s agile phrasing and high notes, the lyrical brightness of the leading sopranos, and the dark-hued support of the lower voices combine to illuminate Rossini’s inventive orchestration and vocal writing. Yves Abel’s conducting keeps the orchestral textures lithe and propulsive, providing a lively and well-balanced foundation for the cast’s spirited portrayals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release is presented as a two-DVD set (Catalogue: ENCORE DVD 2074, Region: DVD) and is an appealing document for collectors and fans of the bel canto revival, as well as anyone interested in Rossini’s lesser-performed works. The filmed live performance preserves the theatrical momentum and musical highlights of the evening, making it an accessible and enjoyable way to experience a rare Rossini gem performed by an excellent ensemble.
