Rossini Guillaume Tell Overture in E minor

- Stefano Veggetti with Ensemble Cordia

The William Tell Overture is the overture to the opera William Tell (original French title Guillaume Tell), whose music was composed by Gioachino Rossini. William Tell premiered in 1829 and was the last of Rossini's 39 operas, after which he went into semi-retirement (he continued to compose cantatas, sacred music and secular vocal music). The overture is in four parts, each following without pause.

0:00 Andante: Cellos in this performance are really beautiful played. I really like the fortepiano arpeggios.

02:54 Allegro: A beautiful storm. I like to show that Rossini use the same recourses to creat a storm that Beethoven uses in his 6th Symphony. You can see the Timpani trills, the tremolos, fast notes in the strings, and chords in the woodwind section.

05:47 Andante: A duet. Flute and Cor Anglais. This is beautiful.

08:19 Allegro Vivace: Horses running? No, trumpets, horns and trombones. And the whole orchestra.
