esta chulisima esta obra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that comment was synesthetic, yo.
Mi dice ben poco
Operalover12002 isn’t that actually the same with all composers? People nowadays are usually only familiar with the overtures. They do not bother to learn about the operas as a whole for some reason. I don’t think this is unique to Rossini. People should learn to listen to more operas and appreciate them more.
right. we’re playing this now, and will play in tihany in the summer too. it’s fantastic. but the horn ha to do a good job:)!
I think some of his works were a bit too silly for “serious critics” to be caught praising them. A lot of the music was a wonderful mix of both gorgeous and catchy though, when he didn’t blatantly steal from himself. But the overtures have had the benefit of being featured in so many movies, TV shows, and otherwise pop culture, that it’s no wonder they are popular. I searched out Gazza Ladra after hearing the overture, and previously never heard the opera even mentioned anywhere.
Rossini is rather unique. The overtures of his operas are more well-known than the works as a whole.
vagány !!!
in essence, a good conductor should be able to paint a masterpiece with their baton as the brush and the orchestra/band as the colours for everybody’s ears to see
This song requires PERFECT tonality throughout the entire group, and this group succeeded! Amazing sound!!!
love it! one of rossinis best pieces
I played this with the gmys ^_^ i hated it at first because we 1) weren’t together, 2)weren’t being conducted properly, and 3) could play the right notes, but when it all fell together it was an amazing piece of art!
quartet lol.
i played horn in this piece, its a really nice quartet.
the 3rd horn actually has the high notes in the main section after the quartet
Horns! Oh baby! Look at that duet!! (is it a duet? I don’t remember…) But what a lovely concert!!!!!
It’s great that you’re listening to classical music. There are so many different great works to listen to, all with unique styles.
And to answer your question, a good conductor must hold the tempo of the ensemble, guide the group through phrasing and expression, and really drive the music forward. All pieces must have a “destination”, and it is the conductor’s job to show them they way. Feel free to PM me with more questions later if you have any, as I have been performing for 15 years.
I’ve just started listening to classical music and i must say that it is a joy to behold…Rossini has to be my favourite. It boggles the mind to think of the complexity,beauty and genius of this music. Am i right in saying that composers today cannot compare to people like Rossini and Tchaikovsky??
And what makes a good conductor?? I’d really like to know!!!
a well performed beautiful piece of music
pull off a very complex sound that not very many conductors can do ….good job
Oh yes, both my favorite composer & overture. TY for sharing this great classic.
I think I like the fast tempo at the beginning. Great horn chorale, veeery nice! It must be fun to work with such a great orchestra.
Interesting. Faster than I’m used to hearing it, but I like the speed. Can’t recall ever seeing an orchestra conductor in a suit and tie, tho.
Excellent piece.
Toller Dirigent, wunderbare Musik.
good orchestra, very talented conductor!
