When Riccardo Muti came to conduct it for the Teatro alla Scala (at the Teatro degli Arcimboldi) in 2003, he engaged Luca Ronconi as director, with a cast featuring Barbara Frittoli, Sonia Ganassi, Giuseppe Filianoti, Erwin Schrott, and Ildar Abdrazakov.Muti's conducting is electric, of course, and Ronconi's production is fascinating. A great pipe-organ had arisen in the desert and the ancient Hebrews are clothed in the garb of the Jews of later centuries. The Egyptians, rather, come to resemble prelates of the Roman Catholic Church. It is both fascinating and very beautiful. And, as so often, the late director's tableaux are exquisite and his handling of the chorus is ideal. The climax of the work is the Crossing of the Red Sea, and Ronconi is here at his finest: Completely stylized, it is an object lesson to lesser directors with their impoverished theories of realism.The cast is of disparate quality, which makes this long opera seem very long, indeed. Schrott, as the Pharaoh of the title, nevertheless, is brilliant. Boyish, petulant, and supremely arrogant, he is quite the finest of the lot.Aspects of the ballet are interesting, and, in toto, the production is a remarkable achievement. "And he rebuked the Red Sea and it was dried up, and he led them through the waves as through a desert." (Psalm 105). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rossini Heavy Metal *by F***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2008* I knew only Semiramide and Rossini comic operas,which I rated as preferable,as did Beethoven. I did not fetch more a Moses.I just wanted to know ,on stage, Netrebko s affortunated husband. Then I have searched for any opera with Erwin Schrott,who looks like a Brazilian man.'Well, fate brought me to this pharaonic "oratorio",which recalls Israel in Egypt and Aida,since there is an unhappy love between an Egyptian prince and a slave,both smashed by ethnic problems and policy. Of course, musical similarities with either Handel or Verdi are few, except for the common grandeur..Although Rossini has seldom the deeper dignity of Mozart tunes,he is an expert in simple and noble melodies. Here his gallops are a bit more "serious" yet recognizable.Good arias,expressive duos, moving choruses, all nursed by splendid conducting by Muti, bright orchestra, solemn codas and the thrilling sound of TDK recording.By the way,I am not able to see on Amazon advertisings whether a recording is DTS,5.1,PCM 2.0,Dolby 3.2,etc..In times of home theater we deserve to know it clearly likewise we see a Mono recording.There are excelent old 2.0 records,but when we see a DVD supposed to be issued in 2003,we misjudge it for a modern sound,while it can be a hideous remake from 1960. Back to this Rossini Hollywoodian opera-oratorio, I enjoyed very much,although Schrott s role,as the Pharaoh, is less important, as well as he is beside his astonishing Russian wife.If you like Rossini or Cecil B de Mille, buy this Moses. If you don t like them, buy it any way.Flavio J Morsch- Brazil ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The camera work was a bit too frantic but I could listen to Abdrazakov all day *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2012* The prior reviewers have covered many aspects of this work and DVD. It is well worth watching as it has many strong points. The best as far as I am concerned is Ildar Abdrazakov who sings the role of Moise. His voice is beautiful and he sings the role very well. My only complaint is the constant camera movement, particularly the extreme close-ups of the singer's faces. The facial contortions that some singers use to produce of high notes and loud volumes may not be particularly pleasing. Do we need to see them strain and sweat? Do we need to see their tongues and the back of their mouths? A little more distance, in my opinion, would be less distracting from the opera. The close ups also distorted the ballet -- the interaction between dancers on opposite sides of the stage were often missed because the camera was close-up on one or the other. The stage was amazingly large, the set very functional and the chorus amazing. I am not sure that I have ever seen such a large chorus --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/15896373-gioachino-rossini-moïse-et-pharaon](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/15896373-gioachino-rossini-moïse-et-pharaon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
