BBC SO debut at the Barbican.
Adelson e Salvini - a curious and uneven Bellini rarity, beautifully performed.
Opera Rara’s excellent singers complemented outstanding playing from the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Daniele Rustioni.
"Rustioni, meanwhile, is fast emerging as a bel canto conductor of great distinction, refined yet rhythmically precise in his approach and allowing Bellini’s melodies, both vocal and orchestral, to unfold and breathe with marvellous eloquence. The BBC Symphony Orchestra played outstandingly for him."
