”Hans Schellevis prepared the critical edition of the first version of Rossini’s magnificent Maometto secondo. His edition was first performed in Santa Fe. Since then it has been heard at least in Garsington, Rome, Rostock, and will now be heard in Toronto.
This is a complicated opera to do, since there is no simple source for it. The work underwent several important revisions, including a French version. Mr. Schellevis has been very attentive to these problems, and did wonderful work on the score. We are looking forward to its joining the Works of Gioachino Rossini, published by Bärenreiter, soon, and I have every reason to believe that Mr. Schellevis will complete his work with his usual gusto. It has been a particular pleasure to work with him.”
— Philip Gossett
