Five Great Overtures in Full Score

Renowned for their elegance, lively rhythms, and beautiful melodies, Rossini overtures are staples of concerts around the world—with or without the operas they introduce. This attractive, modestly priced compilation features the overtures from Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), L’italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers), Il turco in Italia (The Turk in Italy), La Cenerentola (Cinderella), and Il viaggio a Reims (The Journey to Reims).
