Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio


Italian Romantic period opera composer Gioacchino Antonio Rossini (1792-1868) was born on Leap Day and claimed that helped to make him somewhat a joyful rogue and rake. His zest for life spilled out in many of his compositions, which are still among the favorites in the operatic repertoire. Operas include Guillaume Tell (William Tell) and Il Barbiere de Siviglia (The Barber of Seville). His church music includes the Petite Messe solennelle. In later life, he returned to writing chamber music, as he had in his youth. Here he is remembered most for Péchés de vieillesse (Sins of Old Age).
