Salon Rossini Automatic translate

The program included solos, duets and quartets of the great Italian composer performed by artists of the Petersburg Concert.

At the peak of his fame, at the age of thirty-seven, the opera buff king Gioacchino Rossini announced the cessation of opera. But he did not stop composing. “I am writing because I cannot do otherwise,” said the composer, Karl Maria von Weber’s son, who visited him. His bookcase was full of musical manuscripts. At the request of the singers and to their great joy, in 1835 the album of arias and duets “Musical evenings” was published. The new chamber vocal and instrumental compositions of the great maestro, which were immediately performed on his famous Saturdays in Milan, Bologna and Paris, did not cease to be born. The hospitable host charmed visitors with a cheerful disposition, witty but always good jokes, artistic singing and enchanting piano accompaniment to outstanding artists and their guests.

The concert program includes vocal works of that period of the composer’s life, when the glory of the opera genius was overtaken by the glory of the brilliant Rossini salons.
