'Risparmiate lo scherno...Chella mi creda' La Fanciulla del West, G. Puccini - Mario del Monaco

DONATIONS/DONAZIONI:

La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the West) is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Guelfo Civinini and Carlo Zangarini, based on the play "The Girl of the Golden West" by the American author David Belasco. Fanciulla followed Madama Butterfly, which was also based on a Belasco play. The opera has fewer of the show-stopping highlights that characterize Puccini's other works, but is admired for its impressive orchestration and for a score that is more melodically integrated than is typical of his previous work. Fanciulla displays influences from composers Claude Debussy and Richard Strauss, without being in any way imitative. Similarities between the libretto and the work of Richard Wagner have also been found, though some attribute this more to the original plot of the play, and have asserted that the opera remains quintessentially Italian.

Thank you for the accompanying musical notation. It reinforces that MDM possessed uncanny brilliance and squillo where few other tenors have it.

DEVASTATING.

Nice record. However 1/2 step above the original.
