A Little Rough on the Bass Part.......2006-05-10

I enjoy these 6 "quartets" very much. The only thing that really jolts out at me is how Chi-chi Nwanoku plays the bass part on this. While the violin, viola, and cello seem to blend together so lovely, the bass part just sticks out as rugged sounding and a completely different style than the other three performers. It just feels so anti-Rossini to me. However, since there are only a few spots for bass solos, this does not happen to often and the rest of the time it is pure bliss and a warm lush of sound from the ensemble.

Beyond the Overtures.......2004-11-20

If you think all there is to Rossini is Overtures, then you are in for a treat with this Double Decca title. Collected on this two-disc set are Rossini's 6 String Sonatas, lovely three movement works written in the composer's youth and only rediscovered after WWII. They are not the most complex of works, but are thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. Neville Marriner leads the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in these analog recordings from the mid-1960s, which also include works by Donizetti, Bellini and Cherubini. There is a competing Philips Duo title of the String Sonatas, but I opted for this one because one of my favorite recordings of Rossini's Overtures is also by Sir Neville (recently reissued in UNI's "Trio" series). Marriner once again shows that he is more than just Mozart.
