Rossini Rocks!December 13, 2013By bess holloway (Boulder, CO)See All My Reviews"I had no idea before spotting this CD that Rossini wrote piano music in any quantity. His overtures are my favorite ones, so I took a chance on this piano presentation. What a great surprise! I love it, and so will you."Report Abuse
