Description
Despite the growing influence of the "verismo" style of opera during the 1880s and early 1890s, Alfredo Catalani chose to compose in a more traditional manner, which showed traces of German symphonism. Died at the age of 39, Catalani was a sensitive and delicate composer.
Much admired by Arturo Toscanini, today his works are rarely performed in the theater. La falce, on a poetic text by Arrigo Boito, was his first opera and was created at the Teatro del Conservatorio in Milan on July 19, 1875. His symphonic Prologue is an authentic masterpiece and all this short opera will thrill you with its dark colors and the passionate phrasing of the protagonists.
"Performances are excellent in every sense and Fabrizio Da Ros keeps things moving without undue fuss. […] Recommended, especially to Italian opera buffs." – Classical Music Daily
