This review is from: Overtures (Audio CD)

I could not believe how badly Sargent conducted the Rossini overtures. Since they make up a large part of the set, it was a complete waste of a cd. He sounds like he must have been asleep during the performance. Rossini commands a bright, crisp tempo but Sargent and his orchestra did not interpret it that way at all. Don't waste your money on this one Get the Chailly/Nat'l. Phil. recording for it's beautiful interpretation.
