Rossini: Matilde di Shabran (2006) more music like this

performed by Annick Massis (vocals), Bruno de Simone (vocals), Bruno Taddia (vocals), Carlo Lepore (vocals), Chiara Chialli (vocals), Gregory Bonfatti (vocals), Hadar Halevy (vocals), Juan Diego Flórez (vocals), Lubomir Moravec (vocals), Marco Vinco (vocals)
composed by Gioachino Rossini
