Genre: Biography

Today we will tell you the thoughts and memories of Gioachino Rossini, the blithe spirit. And also the sublime and sarcastic thoughts which he dictated and those collected by his contemporaries and by modern stuends of his music and personality.

Rossini the man and Rossini the composer are still in search of their authenticity. During the past century his very music was subjected to such manhandling that a critical revision of his entire work, which is still in progress, became necessary.

We hav etried to get to the truth about Rossini, a truth in tune with the musical gallop that over the span of his youth carried him from 18th-century inspired farce to romantic and epical drama and then for many long years stranded him in an exhausted, mysterious silence.
