Rossini in Paris

You know the William Tell overture (well, you know the Lone Ranger tune from the end), but where did Rossini go from there? 
William Tell was his last opera, a grand creation for the Paris audience. After that, he retired, only to emerge three decades later to write a ‘Little Solemn Mass’ – defying its name with music that’s expansive and joyous. 
Sydney Philharmonia’s Festival Chorus sings Rossini’s final masterpiece with dramatic highlights from Act I of William Tell.
