This is more fun to listen to than to watch. Everybody's far away, even in full screen. It's probably worth buying the DVD. Anyway, thanks for uploading :)
I have the bluray, JDF is fantastic, although the opera has some "lengthy" moments, especially when Matilde and Corradino are not on stage. Maybe not Rossini's most excitingly written opera, but we still enjoyed it
Stendal, ne.. La vita di Rossini, riferisce i commenti de pubblico dopo la prima di Matilde: libretto esecrabile, bella la musica. Condivido., il libretto è scritto davvero male, e sistono tre versioni dell'opera, e in tutte il libretto è ugualmente mal fatto!
Stendhal , ne .. Rossini's life, reports the comments of the public after Matilde's premiere: execrable libretto, beautiful music. I agree., The libretto is written very badly, and there are three versions of the work, and in all the libretto is equally badly done!
