Among the features of this guide to La Cenerentola, Philip Gossett
throws new light on the remarkable story of the opera's
composition, while Colin Graham, ENO producer, argues that it is
the most sympathetic of all Rossini's comic masterpieces, and Mark
Elder, ENO Music Director, shows how Rossini's musical style is
exceptionally well suited to this enchanting story. Contents: Fairy
tale and opera buffa: the genre of Rossini's 'La Cenerentola',
Philip Gossett; 'La Cenerentola' - a musical commentary, Arthur
Jacobs; 'Cinderella' in performance: I: A conversation with Mark
Elder, II: A conversation with Colin Graham; La cenerentola:
Libretto by Giacomo Ferretti; Ciderella: English translation by
Arthur Jacobs
Rossini was one of the major innovators in the field of opera.
Moise et Pharaon is a score which he revised for Paris ten years
after it had been composed for Naples; the result shows the
evolution of his taste over a decade - from the neoclassical
sublime to spectacular Romantic grand opera. Il barbiere di
Siviglia has been a favourite with the public since it opened, and
Marco Spada analyses how its stylish comedy has been misunderstood.
Other essays throw light on the working conditions of the "opera
industry" in Rossini's Italy, on Balzac's delightful novel
concerning Moses and on the exceptional challenge of performing
this type of music to a high standard. Contents: Rossini: the
Serious and the Comic, Philip Gossett; The Composer at Work, John
Rosselli; The Roots of a Masterpiece, Marco Spada; A Personal View
of Rossini, Ubaldo Gardini; Il barbiere di Siviglia: Libretto by
Cesare Sterbini; The Barber of Seville: English version by Edward
J. Dent; Balzac, Stendhal and Rossini's 'Moses', Pierluigi
Petrobelli; From Sublime to Romantic, Richard Bernas; Moise et
Pharaon: Libretto by Victor de Jouy and Louis Balochy; Moses:
