· ⭐ 0 · Votes: 0
The Biblical story of Belshazzar's hubristic arrogance set against the valour of the young warrrior-leader Cyrus provided the 20-year-old Rossini with a dramatic story enriched by West-Eastern implications which still speak to us today. For the title role of Cyrus Rossini wrote what would be his longest-ever contralto role to which the great Rossini singer Ewa Podles´ is both naturally attracted and ideally suited. She is partnered by two young stars of Rossini singing Jessica Pratt and Michael Spyres and a conductor-scholar Will Crutchfield of great experience and sympathy. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
