Markevitch/ORNF: Rossini 6 Overtures - Italian Columbia QCX 10318

Jacket NM / LP NM-

Italian pressing - blue/silver label - mono (flat disk)

For this listener, Markevitch proves superior to near-contemporaneous Rossini Overture recordings by Giulini, Karajan, Sargent, et al. He is surpassed only by Reiner, and not always.

The cover art reproduces a detail from Adrien Douzats' 1860 portrait of Rossini.
