Deshayes and conductor Raphaël Merlin have put together an intelligent recital showcasing Rossini’s melodic gift as well as show-stopping acrobatics…she plays an affecting Desdemona, a feisty Rosina and a fiery Semiramide…[she] is supported by the lively Les Forces Majeures – sinewy, robust playing that is a joy
