Description:

Two early classical operas featuring Fernando Corena (19161984), one of Switzerlands leading bass singers.The Cimarosa work is a one-man show that humorously depicts the court Kapellmeisters struggles to conduct the orchestra. Paehls work is originally in two acts but is typically performed in an abridged version. Corena made his singing debut in Zurich in 1940 and attracted attention in 1947 when he appeared at the Trieste Opera House as Varlam in Modest Mussorgskys *Boris Godunov*. On this album, she fully showcases her expressive singing.Naxos Japan
