This year's 29th of February is the 232th birth anniversary of composer Gioachino Rossini, the author of world-known opera masterpieces such as Il barbiere di Siviglia, La gazza ladra, Il viaggio a Reims, La Cenerentola, Semiramide, Guillaume Telle. Heinrich Heine nicknamed him as “The sun of Italy”, Pushkin called him “Europe's darling Orpheus”, while Verdi wrote 'A great name, the most popular one in our times'. Many his contemporaries used similar rhapsodic expressions when speaking of Rossini, while Stendhal compared his fame ('having reached every place touched by civilization') with that of Napoleon's.
However, fed up with this splendor, Rossini totally discouraged the world of music when at the apogee of adoration and mastership, being only 37 years old, he broke his breathtaking career. He lived for more 40 years without composing any other opera. However, sporadically, just for himself, he wrote music in other genres.
Remembering Rossini's birthday (which may be celebrated only once in four years), Vladimir Spivakov designed a program which compiles works by the “man of the day” and his younger contemporaries. These are the composers, whom Rossini sincerely liked (not without reciprocity), with whom he met and whom he could help anyhow.
