Description:

Cavali’s Ambitious Program! Her Madrid Recital Is Now on DVD!This recording features a recital given by Montserrat Caball in Madrid in 1983. The program is quite ambitious and eye-catching, featuring rare opera arias by Garuppi, Salieri, and Pacini, as well as lesser-known works by Vivaldi, Gluck, and Bellini. In particular, the aria from Pacinis virtually unknown *Themistocles* is such a masterpiece that it will leave you amazed, thinking, I had no idea such a gem existed! The program is also packed with songs by Ravel and Bizet, as well as arias from zarzuelas. Needless to say, Cavallis masterful, mature singing is simply magnificent. Youll be knocked out by Ravels rich, intense music. [Comment provided by King International]—
