Rossini Otello

Movie"Rossinis Otello for a New Century"
Rossini Otello
NR 2 hr 36 min
This new disc from the Zurich Opera presents just about as thoughtful and coherent account of Rossinis Otello as one could hope for This isnt the first time the company has made something of a splash with the bel canto repertory Some will remember their CD release a few years back of Bellinis Norma also featuring Bartoli That set got very mixed reviews and those who hated that will probably hate this too no doubt before they even watch it But for those not initiated in the trench warfare that music loving often attracts this disc will be most welcome The world class cast led by Cecilia Bartoli and tenor John Osborn are mostly young committed and talented They deliver here an intense performance that makes a very strong case for this neglected opera
