I long cherish this version in LP days. Now in the CD format the sound is still impressive and the performance has splendid character. Most enjoyable CDs. August 11, 2008

Rossini Sonatas

The CDs themselves are up to London's usual standards; that is, excellent. The jewel box was severely damaged. It had been taped together and a note indicating that a replacement box would accompany the shipment. However, no replacement box was included. Can I still get one? January 20, 2008

Beyond the Overtures

If you think all there is to Rossini is Overtures, then you are in for a treat with this Double Decca title. Collected on this two-disc set are Rossini's 6 String Sonatas, lovely three movement works written in the composer's youth and only rediscovered after WWII. They are not the most complex of works, but are thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. Neville Marriner leads the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in these analog recordings from the mid-1960s, which also include works by Donizetti, Bellini and Cherubini. There is a competing Philips Duo title of the String Sonatas, but I opted for this one because one of my favorite recordings of Rossini's Overtures is also by Sir Neville (recently reissued in UNI's "Trio" series). Marriner once again shows that he is more than just Mozart. November 20, 2004
