The second finale to Rossini's "Tell" is home to one of Rossini justly renown passages, connecting three full contrasting choruses of revolutionary missions from all cantons of Switzerland: a warlike chant of the farmers from Underwald; the gentle but still unsure song of the shepherds from Schwitz, slowly making their way through the forest; and, finally, the fishermen from Uri, moving their boats through the waters of the lake, before descending into a frenetic, nervous song of both fear and wonder. Finally, after a long and passionate speech from Tell himself (which I regretfully had to cut), a brilliant stretta, slowly growing in excitement up to the final "all'armi". Enjoy :)!
