In his day, Gioacchino Rossini was simply a superstar: a crowd-pleaser and a cultural pivot. In the opera house he formed the bridge from Classicism to Romanticism; in wider society he linked revolution against monarchy to liberalism and autocracy. Aureliano in Palmira is both unique and fascinating: a moment of distinct elegance and poise in the career of an out-and-out entertainer. From his stirring, heroic subject matter Rossini creates a lightly-scored, charming and sensitive piece; male heroism is meted out in one instance by a noble horn obbligato; female defiance by consistently attractive but controlled coloratura. When the voices of Arsace and Zenobia combine, they do so to form, for the 19th-century French commentator Henri Beyle, the ‘finest duet Rossini has ever written.’
