RICCI, Ruggiero (violin)  鲁杰罗·里奇
SIBELIUS: Violin Concerto in D min. (with LSO, Fjeldstad). TCHAIKOVSKY: Violin Concerto (with LSO, Sargent); Scherzo; Sérénade mélancolique (with LSO, Fjeldstad). SARASATE: Carmen Fantasy; Zigeunerweisen. SAINT-SAËNS: Havanaise; Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 28 (with LSO, Gamba). KHACHATURIAN: Violin Concerto (with LPO, Fistoulari)
Australian Decca Eloquence (ADD) 480 2083 (2)

Ricci was a prolific recording virtuoso who made many dashing recordings for Decca from the 1950s to the 1970s. Not all listeners responded to his close vibrato, but he had a considerable international reputation. These two CDs contain some of his most successful discs, and his admirers will be glad to have them available again, though they must be approached with some caution. Though there have been finer accounts of the Sibelius Violin Concerto, Ricci’s, dating from the late 1950s, still remains a formidable one. He has the clean, clear-cut and effortless technique that is a prime necessity for this concerto. The reading is straightforward, with no lack of intensity (the finale has real electricity). A considerable contribution to the success of the performance is made by Fjeldstad with the LSO (the same conductor who made Curzon’s classic recording of the Grieg Piano Concerto around the same time). Although Ricci is well forward, he is sufficiently detached from the orchestra to give an impression of depth. The same conductor accompanies the two delightful Tchaikovsky movements that might almost be part of an early Tchaikovsky violin concerto. The Sérénade was written in 1875, three years before the well-known concerto. It is slighter than the slow movement of the actual concerto but has a similar wistful sweetness, entirely characteristic of the composer, and is most appealing melodically. The Scherzo, arranged from a group of pieces written for violin and piano, is short, genial, pithy and very attractive. Ricci plays both pieces admirably and the accompaniment and recording are again excellent. As for the performance of the main Tchaikovsky Concerto, Ricci is especially impressive in the finale, where the soloist’s brilliance comes into its own – inspiring an electricity in Sargent’s conducting which was often lacking in his studio recordings. If the slow movement isn’t quite as impressive as either his earlier, mono recording or his later, Phase 4 version with Fournet (it lacks a warm lyricism, not helped by his close vibrato), it remains a vital reading, and the Decca sound is excellent. The second disc comprises colourful violin show-pieces of Sarasate and Saint-Saëns which show off Ricci’s extrovert style very well. His brilliance is dazzling, making the most of the bright colours and seductive melodies. The Saint-Saëns items are justly admired, but part of the success of these performances is also thanks to the lively, precise accompaniments of Piero Gamba and the LSO – all brightly captured in stereo by Decca in the late 1950s. The Khachaturian Violin Concerto (one of the composer’s very best works) completes this disc. Fistoulari matches Ricci’s brilliance in terms of extrovert, bright playing and, with vivid Decca stereo sound (1956), one can see why this recording was originally so popular. For Ricci’s admirers this two-CD set makes a suitable companion to Decca’s five-CD ‘Originals Masters’ box (475 108-2), which includes some of Ricci’s most impressive chamber-music recordings, including the delightful Weber Violin Sonatas, as well as his classic Paganini Caprices (for which he was well suited) and his mono recording of Paginini’s First and Second Violin Concertos (with excellent accompaniments from Anthony Collins) and a characterful performance of Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole (with Ansermet). A second volume of concertos has also been released on Australian Decca Eloquence (480 2080), which includes a rare mono performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto (with the LPO and Boult), a brilliant Mendelssohn (with the Netherlands RPO and Fournet), the Bruch No. 1 (with the LSO and Gamba – a full-blooded reading) and the much rarer Concerto of Dvořák (with the LSO and Sargent).

作为一位高产录音大师，里奇在1950至1970年代为DECCA灌录了大量炫技作品。尽管他标志性的密集揉弦风格并非人人欣赏，但其国际声誉毋庸置疑。这两张CD集结了他最成功的录音，乐迷们定会为它们的再版欣喜，不过聆听时仍需稍加留意。

在西贝柳斯小提琴协奏曲的众多版本中，里奇1950年代末的演绎虽非最佳，却仍堪称典范。他以干净利落、举重若轻的技巧完美驾驭这部高难度作品，直率而不失张力的诠释（特别是火花四射的终章）令人难忘。菲耶尔斯塔特指挥伦敦交响乐团的协奏功不可没（这位指挥家同期还为柯曾录制了经典的格里格钢琴协奏曲）。尽管小提琴声部较为突出，但与乐队的层次分离恰到好处，营造出丰富的空间感。

同张CD中，里奇与菲耶尔斯塔特还合作了两首柴可夫斯基小品，这些作品几乎可视为作曲家早期小提琴协奏曲的雏形。创作于1875年的《小夜曲》（比著名协奏曲早三年问世）虽不及正式协奏曲慢乐章的深度，却同样散发着作曲家特有的忧郁甜美，旋律极具感染力。改编自钢琴小品集的《谐谑曲》短小精悍、明朗动人。里奇对两首作品的演绎堪称典范，伴奏与录音同样出色。

在主打的柴可夫斯基协奏曲中，里奇在终章展现出惊人技巧，其辉煌音色成功激发了萨金特（其录音室作品常欠缺的）澎湃激情。尽管慢乐章不及他早年的单声道版本或后期与富尔奈合作的Phase4立体声版本那般温暖抒情（密集揉弦也稍减表现力），但这个充满生命力的演绎配合DECCA优质录音仍属上乘。

第二张CD集中展现里奇外向型演奏风格的萨拉萨蒂与圣-桑炫技小品。他炫目的技巧将明快色彩与诱人旋律发挥到极致。圣-桑作品的卓越演绎部分归功于甘巴与LSO精准活泼的协奏——1950年代末DECCA的立体声录音将这些明亮音色完美定格。哈恰图良小提琴协奏曲（作曲家最杰出作品之一）为这张唱片画上圆满句号。菲斯图拉里与里奇同样光彩夺目的演绎，配合1956年DECCA生动的立体声录音，令人理解这个版本当年风靡的原因。

对里奇拥趸而言，这套双CD可与DECCA五CD《原版大师》系列（475 108-2）互为补充——后者收录了里奇最杰出的室内乐录音，包括迷人的韦伯小提琴奏鸣曲、为他量身定制的帕格尼尼《随想曲》经典版本、与安东尼·柯林斯合作的帕格尼尼第一、二小提琴协奏曲单声道录音（伴奏极佳），以及与安塞美合作的拉罗《西班牙交响曲》个性演绎。澳大利亚DECCA雄辩系列还发行了第二卷协奏曲集（480 2080），包含里奇与博尔特及LPO合作的贝多芬小提琴协奏曲稀有单声道版本、与富尔奈及荷兰广播爱乐合作的精彩门德尔松、与甘巴及LSO合作的热血布鲁克第一协奏曲，以及与萨金特及LSO合作的德沃夏克协奏曲珍稀录音。

RIES, Ferdinand (1784–1838)
Piano Concerto, Op. 132; Grand Variations on ‘Rule Britannia’, Op. 116; Introduction et Variations Brillantes, Op. 170 《钢琴协奏曲》（作品132）；《“统治吧，不列颠”华丽变奏曲》（作品116）；《引子与华丽变奏曲》（作品170）
Naxos 8.570440. Hinterhuber, RLPO, Grodd

Perhaps these are not the greatest recordings of the greatest music, but it is entertaining rarities like these that make record collecting so much fun. These three works are associated with Ferdinand Ries’s successful period of living in England, from 1813 until the early 1820s. Beethoven’s influence in this 35-minute Piano Concerto is obvious and it is a thoroughly entertaining work, subtitled ‘Farewell to England’. Written in 1823, it is very much in the same vein as Hummel’s concertos of the period: very tuneful, with melodic classicism tempered with more dramatic overtones. The finale is a toe-tapping delight. It would be wonderful to hear such music in the concert hall, but I suspect that all we ever shall get is this recording – which luckily is first rate. The Grand Variations on ‘Rule Britannia’ is an absolute hoot, with its bold introduction leading up to its famous theme, which is treated to some brilliant variations. The Introduction et Variations Brillantes is a similarly brilliant treatment of ‘Soldier, soldier, will you marry me?’ Sparkling performances to match the music, and the recording is first rate.

或许这些录音演绎的并非最伟大的音乐，但正是此类稀世珍品让唱片收藏充满乐趣。这三部作品均创作于里斯旅居英国的成功时期（1813至1820年代初）。这部35分钟的《钢琴协奏曲》（副标题"告别英格兰"）明显受到贝多芬影响，是部极具娱乐性的作品。1823年问世的协奏曲与同时期胡梅尔的作品一脉相承——旋律优美，古典主义的优雅中糅合戏剧性张力，终章更令人不禁随之律动。若能在音乐厅聆听此类作品该有多好，但恐怕我们只能通过这张录音来领略——所幸这是顶级水准的演绎。  

《"统治吧，不列颠"华丽变奏曲》堪称妙趣横生：豪迈的引子引出经典主题，随后展开一系列炫技变奏。《引子与华丽变奏曲》同样以"士兵，士兵，你可愿娶我？"为主题进行华丽改编。演奏者以璀璨技巧完美呼应音乐精髓，录音品质亦属一流。

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV, Nikolay (1844–1908)
Capriccio espagnol; Christmas Eve: Suite. Dubinushka; The Flight of the Bumblebee; May Night: Overture. Russian Easter Festival Overture; Sadko; The Snow Maiden: Suite. Symphony 2 (Antar); The Tale of Tsar Saltan: Suite  《西班牙随想曲》；《圣诞夜》组曲；《杜比努什卡》；《野蜂飞舞》；《五月之夜》序曲；《俄罗斯复活节序曲》；《萨德科》；《雪姑娘》组曲；《第二交响曲（安塔尔）》；《萨尔丹沙皇的故事》组曲
Australian Decca Eloquence stereo/mono 480 0827 (2). SRO, Ansermet

This two-CD Rimsky-Korsakov set surely shows Ansermet at his very finest. The opening of the Christmas Eve Suite has a chilled, icy, magical atmosphere, and this colourful tone-poem builds up to a magnificent polonaise – an adrenalin-inducing moment – where Ansermet’s rhythmic bite is at its best. The Snow Maiden Suite is similarly colourful, with Ansermet bringing out all the brilliance of the woodwind and percussion in particular. Neither the Russian Easter Festival Overture nor Capriccio espagnol is as inspired as this, though the rhythmic point in Capriccio espagnol (the only mono recording on this CD) is unfailingly enjoyable. The opening of Dubinushka is delightfully and jauntily pointed, with the bass drum (as always from this source) beautifully captured, adding to the piquant effect. Sadko has marvellous atmosphere and intensity – as well as drama – and there is plenty of felicitous music, as well as playing, in the score. May Night, with its vibrant strings, comes off well, as does all the brilliance in the Tale of Tsar Saltan Suite. Even if Ansermet’s bee in the Flight of the Bumblebee is a rather leisurely creature, it is invested with plenty of buzz from all departments of the orchestra. The longest work in this collection is the still rare Antar, which Ansermet helped to pioneer on LP – he recorded its first stereo release in astonishingly early stereo, dating from June 1954, yet sounding amazingly full, if not as expansive as the later recordings on this CD.

这套双CD的里姆斯基-科萨科夫合集无疑展现了安塞美最精湛的指挥艺术。《圣诞夜》组曲的开篇呈现出冰冷而魔幻的氛围，这首色彩斑斓的音诗最终升华至一段激昂的波罗乃兹舞曲——令人血脉偾张的瞬间——安塞美对节奏的精准把控在此达到极致。《雪姑娘》组曲同样绚丽多彩，他尤其凸显了木管与打击乐器的璀璨音色。尽管《俄罗斯复活节序曲》和《西班牙随想曲》（本专辑中唯一的单声道录音）的演绎稍逊灵感，但后者贯穿始终的节奏感仍令人沉醉。《杜比努什卡》开头轻快俏皮，定音鼓（安塞美指挥作品中一贯的亮点）的精准演绎更添韵味。《萨德科》则充满震撼的意境与戏剧张力，乐曲中处处流淌着精妙的音符与演奏。《五月之夜》中弦乐的蓬勃生机与《萨尔丹沙皇的故事》组曲的华彩乐段同样出色。即便安塞美棒下的《野蜂飞舞》略显从容，各声部仍合力营造出强烈的嗡鸣感。全集中最长篇的《安塔尔》是安塞美早于1954年6月以惊人前瞻性录制的首批立体声版本之一，虽音场不及同辑后期录音开阔，但音质之饱满至今令人惊叹。


Capriccio espagnol, Op. 34  《西班牙随想曲》
RCA (ADD) 09026 63302-2. RCA Victor SO, Kondrashin - KABALEVSKY: The Comedians: Suite. KHACHATURIAN: Masquerade Suite. TCHAIKOVSKY: Capriccio italien

Kondrashin’s 1958 performance is among the finest ever recorded, ranking alongside Maazel’s famous Berlin Philharmonic account, but with the advantage of slightly more sumptuous string-textures. Like the coupled Tchaikovsky Capriccio, it has great flair and excitement, with glittering colour and detail in the variations and the Scena e canto gitano. The orchestral zest is exhilarating, yet there is warmth too, and the resonant recording still sounds very good indeed.

孔德拉申1958年的演绎堪称史上最佳版本之一，与马泽尔指挥柏林爱乐的经典演绎比肩，且弦乐音色更为丰沛。如同搭配的柴可夫斯基《随想曲》，此版以炫目的色彩与细节呈现变奏乐章和《吉普赛之歌》，既迸发着令人振奋的 orchestral 活力，又不失温情。录音虽年代久远，其辉煌的共鸣效果仍极具感染力。

Scheherazade, Op. 35 (DVD version) 《天方夜谭》
Medici Arts DVD 2072276. Phd. O, Ormandy (with GLINKA: Ruslan and Ludmilla Overture. HANDEL: Concerto in D. WOLF-FERRARI: Il segreto di Susanna Overture. STRAUSS: Der Rosenkavalier Suite)
Scheherazade (symphonic suite), Op. 35 (CD version)
RCA SACD 82876 66377-2 (2). Chicago SO, Reiner – STRAVINSKY: Chant du rossignol

Now here is something rather special. Ormandy recorded it at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, in 1977–8. Television concerts by Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic are available in abundance, from Beethoven to Strauss, but the other great partnerships of the period also producing a unique sonority, flair and virtuosity are scantily represented. Here we have a performance of Scheherazade which is perfect in every way, with a superb violin soloist in Norman Carol. The visual side of things is expertly managed, as is the sound.

Reiner’s magnificent (1956) Scheherazade stands out among the many superb RCA recordings made in Chicago in the 1950s. In the new SACD transfer the sensation of sitting in the concert hall is uncannily real, and the recording itself has extraordinary lustre. Reiner’s first movement opens richly and dramatically and has a strong forward impulse. Sidney Harth, the orchestral leader, naturally balanced, plays most seductively. Reiner’s affectionate individual touches in the gloriously played slow movement have much in common with Beecham’s version, and they sound similarly spontaneous. The finale, brilliant and exciting, was recorded in a single take and has a climax of resounding power and amplitude, and the acoustics throughout provide the orchestra with plenty of body and arresting brass sonorities. The Stravinsky coupling also shows the conductor and orchestra at their finest, and this is a CD that should be in everyone’s collection.

这是一份相当特别的演绎。奥曼迪于1977至1978年间在费城音乐学院录制了这部作品。尽管卡拉扬与柏林爱乐的电视音乐会录像从贝多芬到施特劳斯层出不穷，但同期其他伟大组合所呈现的独特音色、激情与技巧却鲜少留存。此版《天方夜谭》的演出堪称完美，小提琴独奏家诺曼·卡罗尔的表现尤为出色。画面与音效的呈现同样精湛。

莱纳1956年指挥的《天方夜谭》是RCA在芝加哥黄金年代众多杰出录音中的翘楚。经SACD技术转制后，聆听时恍若置身音乐厅的临场感惊人地真实，录音本身亦焕发非凡的光彩。莱纳处理的第一乐章以恢弘戏剧性的开篇和强劲的推进力见长，乐团首席西德尼·哈斯以自然平衡的琴声奏出极富诱惑力的旋律。慢乐章中，莱纳那些深情款款的个性化处理与比彻姆版本异曲同工，同样散发着浑然天成的气质。辉煌激昂的终章一气呵成录制，高潮部分迸发出震撼的力度与规模，全程录音的声学效果更赋予乐团饱满的质感与夺目的铜管音色。搭配的斯特拉文斯基作品同样展现了指挥与乐团的巅峰状态，这张CD值得每位乐迷珍藏。


Cantatas: (i) Inz Gomera, Op. 60; The Song of Alexis, Man of God, Op. 20; (ii–iii) The Song of Oleg the Wise, Op. 58; (iii–iv) Switsezianka (or The Girl in the Lake), Op. 44  康塔塔集 （i）《因茨·戈梅拉》，作品60；《圣者阿列克谢之歌》，作品20；（ii-iii）《智者奥列格之歌》，作品58；（iii-iv）《水泽仙女》（又名《湖中少女》），作品44
HM Chant du Monde RUS 288175. (i) Fedotova, Sizova; (ii) Didenko; (iii) Kortchak; (iv) Mitrakova; Moscow Ac. Ch., Moscow SO, Ziva

These splendid secular choral cantatas are a real find, and show an endearing new facet to Rimsky’s genius. Try the opening Song of Alexis, Man of God, superbly sung by a fine Russian chorus, and you will surely be hooked immediately. The composer re-uses music written to accompany pilgrims in The Maid of Pskov, to evoke the legend of Saint Alexis, who renounced marriage with a princess in order to lead a hermit’s life. Its noble melody is based on a Russian folksong. The Song of Oleg the Wise, set to a poem by Pushkin, for tenor (who tells the story) and bass (Oleg) is melodramatically operatic, and Inz Gomera, based on Homer, even more so with its powerful orchestral Prelude depicting Poseidon’s tempest, before the luminously seductive writing for the female voices.

Switsezianka (using a poem by Lev May) is the familiar folk tale of the watery nymph who captivates her young swain and insists on his fidelity, with a dire penalty if he forgets her. She then returns in an even more beautiful form to test his faithfulness and he immediately forgets his vows, succumbs to temptation, and is swallowed up by the frothing waters of the lake. Rimsky’s highly atmospheric scena, using soprano and tenor soloists, climaxes as a splendid quartet of performances, with fine Russian singers throughout. The recording is first class and so is the documentation, with full translations included, which are easy to follow even without the original Russian.

这些精彩的世俗合唱康塔塔是难得的发现，展现了里姆斯基-科萨科夫天才中令人倾慕的新侧面。试听开篇的《圣者阿列克谢之歌》——由优秀的俄罗斯合唱团倾力演绎——你定会瞬间被俘获。作曲家复用了为《普斯科夫姑娘》中朝圣者场景谱写的音乐，来烘托圣徒阿列克谢的传说：他放弃与公主的婚约，选择隐修生涯。其庄严旋律基于一首俄罗斯民谣。  

根据普希金诗作谱写的《智者奥列格之歌》为男高音（叙事者）与男低音（奥列格）而作，充满歌剧式的戏剧张力；而取材自荷马史诗的《因茨·戈梅拉》更甚，其序曲以磅礴的管弦乐描绘波塞冬的暴风雨，随后女声部则化作 luminous 诱人的吟唱。  

《水泽仙女》（采用列夫·梅伊的诗作）讲述了熟悉的民间传说：水中精灵蛊惑青年并要求他忠贞不渝，违誓将遭厄运。当她以更美的形态现身考验时，青年即刻背弃誓言，沉沦诱惑，最终被翻腾的湖水吞噬。里姆斯基通过女高音与男高音独唱者构建出极具氛围的场景，四部作品的演绎在此达到高潮，俄罗斯歌唱家们的表现始终卓越。录音品质一流，随附资料亦属上乘，内含完整译文，即使不懂俄语也能轻松跟随。

ROREM, Ned (born 1923)
(i) Flute Concerto; (ii) Violin Concerto. Pilgrims
Naxos 8.559278. (i) Khaner; (ii) Quint; RLPO, Serebrier

Ned Rorem is already a celebrated composer of the newer generation in America; he writes tonally and without the need to shock his listeners into submission. On this well-planned Naxos disc we are transported into his refined, often elegiac sound-world by the opening Pilgrims for string orchestra, which evokes a quiet feeling of ‘remembrance’.

Each of the two Concertos is programmatic, the work for flute offering a series of vignettes with often virtuosic embroidery. It is superbly played by Jeffrey Khaner. The arresting opening drum-command introduces the haunting five-note motif on which the six movements all draw. So the work is almost a set of variations, ending with a catchy False Waltz and on to the refined mood of the closing Résumé and Prayer. The result is highly imaginative and full of variety, if perhaps a little over-extended. The Violin Concerto opens dramatically and ardently and is a true interplay between soloist and accompaniment, its second movement an unlikely Toccata-Chaconne built over a jagged timpani rhythm. But the heart of the work is lyrically heart-warming in its gentle beauty, first a simple Romance without Words, followed by the serene Midnight, ‘a microsonic variation’. Philippe Quint is a deeply responsive soloist, playing with silvery timbre: the composer could not have asked for better, and throughout Serebrier directs the accompanying RLPO most sympathetically. First-class recording.

内德·罗伦已是美国新一代作曲家中备受瞩目的代表。他的创作坚持调性语言，无需以刺耳音效震慑听众。在这张构思精妙的Naxos唱片中，开篇的弦乐作品《朝圣者》便将我们引入他精致而常带哀愁的音韵世界，悄然唤起"追忆"之情。  

两首协奏曲均具标题性。长笛协奏曲通过一系列音画小品展开，常以炫技性的装饰音点缀。演奏家杰弗里·卡纳的诠释堪称绝妙——开篇震撼的鼓声指令引出一个萦绕的五音动机，六个乐章皆由此衍生，使作品近乎一套变奏曲集，终章以俏皮的《伪圆舞曲》收束，继而转入末乐章《终祷》的幽微意境。全曲想象力丰沛且变化多端，唯篇幅稍显冗长。  

小提琴协奏曲则以炽烈的戏剧性开篇，独奏与乐队形成真正的对话。第二乐章出人意料地以棱角分明的定音鼓节奏构建《托卡塔-恰空》，而作品的核心却流淌着温柔的诗意：先是简约的《无词浪漫曲》，继而是静谧的《子夜》（"微观音响变奏"）。小提琴家菲利普·昆特的演绎极具深度，银铃般的音色完美契合作曲家意图，塞雷布里埃指挥皇家利物浦爱乐乐团的协奏亦充满默契。录音品质一流。

ROSSINI, Gioachino (1792–1868)
String Sonatas 1–6 (complete)
Double Decca (ADD) 443 838-2 (2). ASMF, Marriner (with CHERUBINI: Étude for 2 French Horns & Strings (with Tuckwell). BELLINI: Oboe Concerto in E flat (with Lord). DONIZETTI: String Quartet)

We have a very soft spot for the sparkle, elegance and wit of these ASMF performances of the Rossini String Sonatas, amazingly accomplished products for a 12-year-old. Marriner offers them on full orchestral strings but with such finesse and precision of ensemble that the result is all gain. The 1966 recording still sounds remarkably full and natural, and the current CD transfer adds to the feeling of presence. The new Double Decca format has other music added. Apart from the Donizetti Quartet, which has an appropriately Rossinian flavour, the two minor concertante works are well worth having, with both Barry Tuckwell (in what is in essence a three-movement horn concertino) and Roger Lord in excellent form.

我们对马里纳指挥圣马丁室内乐团演绎的这版罗西尼弦乐奏鸣曲情有独钟——这些出自12岁神童之手的作品闪耀着灵动、优雅与诙谐。马里纳采用满编弦乐阵容，却以细腻精准的合奏赋予作品更丰富的层次。1966年的录音至今仍保有饱满自然的音质，此次CD转制更增强了临场感。新版Decca双碟套装还增录了其他曲目：除了带有罗西尼风味的多尼采蒂《四重奏》外，两首冷门协奏式作品同样值得收藏——巴里·塔克韦尔（演绎本质上是三乐章的小号协奏曲）与罗杰·洛德均展现出极佳状态。

Marriner’s reissued Trio spans all Rossini’s overtures, but one must remember that the early Neapolitan operas, with the exception of Ricciardo e Zoraide and Ermione, make do with a simple Prelude, leading into the opening chorus. Ricciardo e Zoraide, however, is an extended piece (12 minutes 25 seconds), with the choral entry indicating that the introduction is at an end. Maometto II is on a comparable scale, while the more succinct Armida is an example of Rossini’s picturesque evocation, almost like a miniature tone-poem. Twenty-four overtures plus two sinfonias make a delightful package in such sparkling performances, which eruditely use original orchestrations. The well-known popular overtures stand competition with the best. Indeed, William Tell has almost Toscaninian thrust in the final gallop, but it is the frothy, infectious music-making which one enjoys most. Full, bright, atmospheric recordings, spaciously reverberant with no artificial brilliance.

For a single-disc recommendation of Rossini’s most popular overtures, Reiner’s Chicago version from 1958 (RCA 82876 65844-2) is hard to beat, and they emerge on CD as sparkling and vivacious as ever. Giulini’s Philharmonia recordings on EMI, from the early 1960s, are equally recommendable and very inexpensive (CfP 2 28281-2). For those who insist on digital recording, Chailly’s two-CD bargain set on Decca (443 850-2 (2)) is strongly recommended, stylish performances in demonstration sound, with London’s finest musicians (National Philharmonic Orchestra).

马里纳这套再版三重奏专辑囊括了罗西尼全部序曲，但需注意：早期那不勒斯歌剧（除《里恰尔多与佐拉伊德》和《埃尔米奥内》外）仅以简短的"前奏曲"导入开场合唱。不过《里恰尔多与佐拉伊德》的序曲长达12分25秒，人声进入才标志着引子终结；《穆罕默德二世》规模相当，而更精炼的《阿尔米达》则堪称罗西尼的音画杰作，宛如微型音诗。24首序曲加2首交响曲在这般璀璨的演绎下成为听觉盛宴，学者级的原始配器还原更添价值。经典序曲的演绎足以比肩最佳版本——《威廉·退尔》终章的疾驰段落甚至透出托斯卡尼尼式的凌厉，但最令人沉醉的仍是那泡沫般轻盈欢腾的演奏。录音饱满明亮，空间残响自然，毫无人工锐化痕迹。  

若推荐单碟版罗西尼热门序曲集，莱纳1958年指挥芝加哥交响乐团的版本（RCA 82876 65844-2）仍是难以超越的经典，CD化后依旧光彩焕发；朱里尼1960年代初与爱乐乐团的EMI录音（CfP 2 28281-2）同样值得推荐且价格亲民。追求数码录音的乐迷可选择夏伊利Decca双碟超值套装（443 850-2），伦敦国家爱乐乐团纯熟的演绎配合示范级音效，堪称性价比之选。
