The prolific and versatile Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti, one of the central figures of Italian bel canto opera, wrote around 200 songs. Most of them are rarely performed and some, until recently, were completely unknown. Under the direction of musicologist Roger Parker and Opera Rara's artistic director Carlo Rizzi, Opera Rara presents the complete solo songs in a series of eight recital albums. This project powerfully demonstrates that Donizetti is a key figure in the 19th-century song repertoire and that the Italian school played an important role in a field long dominated by German and French composers. This album, featuring baritone Michael Spyres, is the third in a series of 8 recordings.
