Rossini: Moïse et Pharaon

[Mark Thomas]

Naxos are shortly to release a new recording of Rossini's French expansion of Mose in Egitto - Moïse et Pharaon, one of the first French grand operas. It was recorded at the 2018 Bad Wildbad festival. There's an earlier Hungaroton recording, but I assume that's cut as it's 20 minutes shorter than this new one which promises to be the "original, uncut version". Here's a sound bite from Act III.
