About Aureliano In Palmira
One of Rossini's rarest scores, the drama serial Aurelian in Palmira was written during his miraculous 21st year (1813), when Rossini produced four operas in all. The other three, the comedies Il signor Bruschino and L'italiana in Algeri, plus the tragedy Tancredi, indicate not only his amazing fertility of his inventive powers but also the staggering quality of his youthful writing. Even so, Rossini fans will recognize the overture to Aurelian, which he recycled in three other scores, most notably Il barbiere di Siviglia. On the way to the opera's inevitable happy ending, there is plenty of extreme emotion to fire up some exciting vocal writing. A great success in it's day, Aurelian promises to thrill another generation of listeners in this new studio recording under Maurizio Benini. The set includes a lavishly illustrated book including a complete libretto with an English translation by Jeremy Commons and a synopsis by Richard Osborne.
