Rossini: Edipo a Colono [Album Trailer]

A puzzling piece with a tormented history, Rossini’s Edipo a Colono for bass, male choir and orchestra is rarely performed in modern times and represents a unicum in the entire repertoire of Italian music. The fruit of an unusual collaboration between librettist Giambattista Giusti and Italy’s most sought-after composer at the time, Rossini’s astonishing incidental music for Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus is brought to life again by Nahuel Di Pierro, the Coro del Teatro della Fortuna and the Filarmonica Gioachino Rossini conducted by Fabrizio Ruggero. Recorded live at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro.
