This has so be one of the best versions of Rossini’s Duetto buffo di due gatti we have ever heard. A popular encore, the “lyrics” consist entirely of the repeated word “meow”. The boys are members of “Les Petits Chanteurs a la Croix de Bois (PCCB)” in Paris and take the humorous meow meow song it to a whole new level.
Fun fact: though attributed to Rossini, the piece is actually penned in 1825 by Robert Lucas de Pearsall after Rossini 1816 opera, Otello.
