Rossini was born in Pesaro, Italy. His father was a trumpeter and his moher a singer. Young Rossini composed his first Opera at fourteen. Rossini was known mostly for his operas and his carefree spirit and good humor. He didn’t start focusing on songs until after the end of his career.
Les soirées musicales is a collection of eight solo songs along with four duets written between 1830 and 1835. Right after his last Opera Guillaume Tell in 1829. These are considered his most famous songs.
In this recital, I will only be performing three pieces from this incredible cycle. La Promesa, L’invito and La Pastorella Dell’ Alpi. In every song, Rossini employs a very different piano motif that sets the mood, returns throughout the song and is repeated
