This recording of La Sonnambula is attractive (and significant) for a number of reasons. It's the first to use the critical edition of the score by Alessandro Roccatagliati and Luca Zoppelli, to which some music has been restored and which has corrected the orchestration and restored the original keys of various numbers for which transposition has ...

One of Verdi's most vocally demanding scores, calling for a stand-and-deliver quartet of lead singers, Trovatore is a puzzling choice for the light-voiced Bocelli -- a bit like sending your ...
