Angela Vallone - Cimarosa: L’Italiana in Londra - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Domenico Cimarosa, one of the last great exponents of the Neapolitan School, was also one of the most-performed opera composers before the arrival of Rossini. He composed over 60 such works and was esteemed from Venice to St Petersburg, where he was appointed to the Russian Court. L'Italiana in Londra ('The Italian Girl in London') is a charming and sophisticated intermezzo that displays an incredible understanding of comic situations and characters, satirising different cultural stereotypes that are as identifiable today as they were in the 18th century. Humour and wit abound in this acclaimed production. Album Tracks 1. Italiana in Londra (The Italian Girl in London)-Sinfonia. Allegro Con Spirito - Andantino - [Allegro] 2.
