Description: Rossini reused about half of the numbers from Il viaggio a Reims (1825) for this opéra comique three years later. The work is remarkable both for the skill with which he refashioned the music, generally making it serve the same dramatic purposes in Comte as it did in viaggio, while adding a 15-minute trio at the end of the piece, freshly composed, which is a marvel of vocal and instrumental sensibility and sophistication. Berlioz considered this to be Rossini's "absolute masterpiece". 2 CDs. French libretto available on-line. Huw Rhys-Evans (tenor), Luca Salsi (baritone), Linda Gerrard (soprano), Gloria Montanari (mezzo), Czech Philharmonic Choir, Brno, Czech Chamber Soloists, Brno; Brad Cohen.
