5.0 out of 5 stars ZORAIDA DI GRANATA
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2013

“Zoraida” was composed in 1822 for the Teatro Argentina in Rome, and the premiere has faced problems because tenor Amerigo Sibigoli's health, which will interpret the title role of Abenamet. Thus, it was replaced by the contralto Adelaide Mazzanti, and the three pieces designed for he were never heard. In the 1824's revision, part of this recording in the form of appendix, also a contralto, the great Pisaroni, sang Abenamet.

The work of the Opera Rara, as always, deserves the highest praise for bringing to light an opera of Donizetti's youthful years. The quartet of main voices consists of two tenors singing Gen. Abenamet and Moorish king Almuzir (original version), a soprano for the role of Zoraida and a bass as Ali. Bruce Ford, Austin Kelly, Majella Cullagh and Matthew Hargreaves are in excellent vocal form. The Orchestra of St. Martin in the Fields and the Geoffrey Mitchell Choir sound bright, conducted by David Parry.

"Melodramma eroico" with libretto a bit confusing and quite extensive. The musical numbers prominent are Abenamet's cabaletta, the quartet and the finale of Act I, Zoraida's romanza "Rose che un di spiegasti", the triplet and the finale of Act II. The appendices are remarkable and include the participation of the great Diana Montague as Abenamet .

Studio recording 1998.

5.0 out of 5 stars Donizetti's First Masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

While this is not Donizetti's first opera, it is his first masterpiece. The work finds the composer at a nexus with Rossini and Meyerbeer as the three envision Grand Opera. The work is decidedly mature. The recording by Opera Rara, phenomenal! I no longer see it on their website, and it appears to be out of print, so I would advise anyone to snatch up a copy. It is worth a chance as equally as Meyerbeer's early Italian operas, whose worth are being reconsidered in light of excellent recordings and performances.

Esecuzione integrale dell'opera, curata in ogni minimo dettaglio. Cantanti e direttore d'orchestra seguono la partitura con attenzione ed impegno, mostrando di essere all'altezza del compito.
Un sentito grazie ad Opera Rara.

Hallo,

wer sich immer mehr mit der Musik von Donizetti beschäftigt, kommt aus dem Hochgenuß nicht mehr heraus. Es ist zwar sehr viel Geld, aber die Aufnahmen der Oper ist das wert. Ich stelle mir immer noch die Frage, was muss in dem Kopf des wirklich für mich absoluten Genie vorgehen, was der da alles schrieb.

Dem Donizetti Fands darf diese CD nicht fehlen. Viel Spass!
