Verdi / Bertocci / Campagnano - Aroldo (Opera) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Verdi / Avolanti / Callas / Elmo - Trovatore (Il) (Opera) [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/29/2001

Employing a vast array of advanced vocal and instrumental techniques, Broken Gargoyles is arguably Diamanda Galás' most intellectually, sonically and viscerally formidable work to date. The album finds the visionary artist deftly probing the weaving, warping transformation on the nervous systems of her post-traumatic soldiers and dying diseased. The album's first part, InchMutilatus,Inch contains the GeorgHeym poems InchDas FieberspitalInch and InchDie Dämonen der Stadt,Inch and concerns the suffering of the soldier in the trenches and during innumerable operations in the hospital. Composed in 2020 during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the first incarnation of Broken Gargoyles was played as a sound installation at the Kapellen Leprosarium (Leper's Sanctuary) in Hanover, Germany. The work was finalized in 2020 in collaboration with the artist and sound designer Daniel Neumann. CD with 24 page lyric book and additional 12 page booklet.

Tenor Feliciano Labo Had a Prestigious, If Overshadowed, Career That, After His 1954 Debut, Maintained a High Quality and a Remarkable Professional Honesty. His Wide Vibrato, Homogeneous Color and Perfect Timbre - Shaded Dark As Bronze - in General Opinion Made Him the Perfect Verdi Tenor. Aside Labo for This 1964 'Il Trovatore' Is a Singer Whose Voice and Career Was in Some Ways Similar to His The American Soprano Anna De' Cavalieri (Anne McKnight), Another Authentic Verdi Voice Who Debuted Under Toscanini As Musetta in la Bohe?Me in 1946 But Sadly Left Behind a Fairly Scant Discography.
