Using the critical edition by Azio Corghi, this recording of L'Italiana in Algeri was made at a jubilee performance of the XXth Rossini in Wildbad Festival in 2008. For his tenth opera, the already celebrated 21-year-old Rossini wanted 'a humorous libretto full of spectacle'. This spirited opera, completed in barely a month, scored an immediate hit and its manic atmosphere of 'organized, total lunacy', as Stendhal put it, has ensured its enduring popularity.

Reviews

FonoForum 09/10: "Alberto Zedda legt sich hier mit Verve und Energie ins Zeug, nimmt mit den Viruosi Brunensis zügige Tempi und trägt die Sänger auf dem Silbertablett. Unter Letzteren ragt Lawrence Brownlee als Lindoro turmhoch heraus - wunderbare Technik, exzellente Koloraturen, bestrickendes Timbre, ein Belacnto-Tenor der Weltklasse."
