Aside from The Barber Of Seville, most of Rossini's thirty-nine operas are revived only rarely today. The overtures to his operas, however, are another matter entirely. Evergreen in their appeal, many remain popular mainstays oforchestral repertoires worldwide, loved by audiences for their elegance, lively rhythms and beautiful melodies. This volume contains five of the most admired of Rossini's operatic overtures, reprinted from authoritativefull-score editions.
