Summary:
Universally acknowledged as one of the masters of operatic comedy, Gioachino Rossini created some of the repertoire's most beloved farces: deftly combining stunning vocal displays, flowing melody, and hilarious hijinks. There are few better examples of the composer's genius than the 1813 L'Italiana in Algeri, about a group of shipwrecked Italians stranded in an Algerian harem. In this classic radio broadcast, mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, one of her generation's most celebrated interpreters of Rossini's music, stars as Isabella, the titular Italian girl. Maestro Nicola Rescigno leads an all-star cast--which also includes soprano Kathleen Battle as Elvira, tenor Rockwell Blake as Lindoro, and bass Ara Berberian as Mustafà--in a delightfully spirited performance.
Contents:
Overture
Serenata il mesto ciglio
Delle donne l'arroganza
Ritiratevi tutti
Languir per una bella
Ah, quando fia ch'io possa
Se inclinassi a prebder moglie
Quanta roba! Quanti schiavi!
Cruda sorte! Amor tiranno!
Giá ci saim
Ai caprici della sorte
Ah! No: per sempre uniti
Ascoltami, italiano
Giá d'insolito ardore
Vi dico il ver
Viva, viva il flagel delle donne
Oh, che muso! Che figura!
Vo' star con mia nipote
Pria di dividerci da voi, signore
Dite, chi è quelle femmina
Uno stupido, uno stolto
Amiche, andata a dire all'italiana
Oh come il cor di giubilo
Ah! Se da solo a sola
Viva il grande Kaimakan
Kaimakan! Io non capisco niente
Ho un gran peso sulla testa
Dunque a momenti
Per lui che adoro
Io non resisto più
Ti presento di mia man
Siete servita
Con tutta la sua boria
Le femmine d'Italia
E tu speri di togliere Isabella
Pappataci! Che mai sento
Tutti i nostri italiani
Pronti abbiamo e ferri
Amici miel, in ogni evento
Pensa alla patria
Che bel core ha costei!
Dei Pappataci s'avanza il coro
Non sei tu che il grado eletto
Son l'aure seconde, son placide I'onde
Mio signore ... Mio marito.
