Description:

Id love to take the time to listen closely to the overtures alone from Cimarosas many operas, the full scope of which remains to be fully explored.Volume 1 (8570508) was also well-received; its a collection of Cimarosas opera overtures. This new release features works that are rarely heard in their entirety, so its sure to pique the interest of more than just die-hard fans. Cimarosas operas were considered dramatic for their time, and he was highly praised for his innovative melodies and solid orchestration. The overtures succinctly capture the essence of each opera and inevitably heighten anticipation for the drama that follows.Naxos Japan
