Title: Bel canti
Review: A relatively early, unfinished work of Donizetti, featuring three soloists, chorus, and instruments, demonstrating the antiphonal relationships usually reserved for the opera. Not possessing the training to evaluate the technical quality of this work, I can only provide the testimony of my untutored ears. I certainly put this above Durafle, and close to, if not on a par with, Faure. Although I respect the respective requia of Brahms and Verdi, both are too scholastic for me, and both strike me as overly long, in consequence. To assist you in understanding my personal tastes, I reject artists that lack melodic tongues. If that is incommensurate with yours, you may need to preview this piece prior to purchase (recommended in any case).I would say the quality of this piece is somewhat uneven, but certainly worth the price.Unfortunately, I cannot provide a response to this specific rendition, as it is not yet arrived. My comments are general in nature.tlt-
