These are sealed and Brand New........... Verismo is an Italian word that loosely translates to "realism" or "naturalism". It is also the title of an album of Italian arias sung by Argentine-born tenor José Cura. No - the title of the album is not intended to advertise the quality of José's singing, although I am sure Erato and José probably wouldn't mind us making the inference. The word refers to a style of opera that was popularised by a group of Italian composers. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, opera goers broadened from the nobility to the lower middle classes. Pretty soon the more diverse audience began to grow tired of plots about kings and queens and fairy tales and clamoured for more "realistic" storylines that featured the triumphs and tragedies of the common man. The word can also be used to suggest a shift from the "impressionist" movement in art and music that preceded these operas. This album features a selection of arias from verismo operas by verismo composers, including: Rugerro Leoncavallo: Pagliacci Alfredo Catalani: Loreley Umberto Giordano: Andrea Chénier Umberto Giordano: Fedora Francesco Cilea: Adriana Lecouvreur Francesco Cilea: L'arlesiana Alberto Franchetti: Germania Pietro Mascagni: Cavalleria rusticana Pietro Mascagni: Lodoletta Pietro Mascagni: Guiglielmo Ratcliff * *********Australian customers ONLY - purchase 3 or more items and pay ZERO $$$$ Postage********* *********Over 7000 items listed********* *********Australian customers ONLY - purchase 3 or more items and pay ZERO $$$$ Postage********* DESCRIPTION: **********Please cheak region codes...
