At last the undisputed Rossini tenor par excellence, Juan Diego Florez makes his debut in the hugely demanding role of Arnold in 'Guillaume Tell.' The William Tell legend of patriotic and political intrigue in 14th century Switzerland is interpreted by Graham Vick as a timeless class conflict with dramatic and unforgettable images. This release adds to Florez's growing filmography of Rossini operas on DECCA which also include La Cenerentola; Matilde de Shabran and Il Barbiere di Siviglia
