Rossini - La gazza ladra - Fragment

Mariss Jansons conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Rossini’s Overture ‘La gazza ladra’. Here the snare drums are clearly to be heard, referring to the role the gendarmes play in de opera.

Rossini’s Overture ‘La gazza ladra’
Gioachino Rossini composed La gazza ladra, ‘The Thieving Magpie’, for the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. An innocent girl is condemned to death for having stolen a silver spoon; it becomes clear at the end of the opera that a magpie had stolen it and the girl is set free. The snare drums are clearly to be heard in the overture to La gazza ladra and refer to the role the gendarmes play in the opera.

Εξαιρετική εκτέλεση...η επανάληψη του τυμπάνου ακούγεται πολύ χαμηλά...η σκηνοθεσία ακριβής...παρακολουθείς όλα τα όργανα όταν παίζουν...

" In 1806, at the age of fourteen, Rossini enrolled at the Bologna Music High School, studying composition intensely and becoming passionate about the works of Haydn and Mozart (it was during this period that he earned the nickname of "Little German")"
I really wanted to say it I feel a hint of joyful Austrianness
Like in the legendary marches

Lebhafte Aufführung dieses erfreulichen Meisterwerks mit perfekt synchronisierten Töne aller Instrumente. Der geniale Maestro leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im rhythmischen Tempo mit effektiver Dynamik. Echt erstklassig!

I just want to point out (for those who may not know) that the Concertgebouw is the symphony orchestra based at the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw (concert hall). Considered one of the world's leading orchestras. Queen Beatrix conferred the "Royal" title upon the orchestra in 1988. The Dutch can be very proud that in addition to this orchestra they have the world famous Metropole Orchestra.
