A beautiful opera, but not a pleasant discovery highly memorable. I would say a pleasant recreational work of the beloved (nay, loved it!) Rossini. Aside from the tenor too nasal for my taste (Daniele Zanfardino) the distribution is good genuine, well removed and orchestration. I am currently trying to discover the little known or unknown works by Rossini, and it is not easy to make good choices; too often lacking the necessary information to choose from.
