GIUSEPPE GAZZANIGA (1743-1818): Don Giovanni.

Description: This compact, one-act work (here running 130 minutes) predated Mozart's more famous opera by a mere eight months. It, of course, is not Mozart but Gazzaniga's music offers plenty to enjoy and it will interest anyone who hasn't gotten the period-instrument recording on Sony Vivarte from 1991 or the modern-instrument Orfeo from 1995 or who would like to see a staging. English subtitles. Roberto Iuliano (tenor), Linda Campanella, Christina Mantese (sopranos), Coro del Teatro Donizetti, Fondazione Orchestra Stabile Gaetano Donizetti Istituto Musicale Donizetti; Alessio Pizzech. 4:3 picture format. 5.1 Dolby surround
