Opera Rara

A song can be no less difficult than an aria from an opera - and our second pre-release track from Donizetti Songs Volume 8 is a case in point. Look at the concentration on the artists' faces❗

'Le Départ pour le chasse' (1841) with Nicola Alaimo, Carlo Rizzi and Nicholas Korth is now available on all streaming platforms ahead of our 5 June official release date 🎧

Donizetti meets Weber's Die Freischütz (1821) with this unusual combination of voice, piano and French horn conjuring the world of the hunt 🎶

The gift of 🎶 this Friday from us to you - Volume 8 of our Donizetti Song Project is now available to pre-order featuring Nicola Alaimo and our Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi

Our first pre-release track 'Addio Brunetta' is also available now on streaming platforms 🎧 to enjoy:

"Written in Donizetti’s final years, this song revisits material from much earlier in his career (“Mentre dal caro lido”, published in Vol. 2 of our collection), offering a revealing glimpse of the composer’s artistic evolution. While the melodic idea mirrors the closing section of the earlier version, it is enriched with vivid chromatic colour. Subtle harmonic inflections lend the music an exotic, expressive atmosphere."
