"In its original form, the Neapolitan version of 1818–19, Mosè in Egitto is one of the freshest and dramatically most effective of Rossini’s opere serie, and there is a strong case for preferring this version to the somewhat bloated and more arbitrarily structured revision which Rossini prepared for the Paris Opéra in 1827 under the title Moïse et Pharaon."
