Le Villi

0 - Default Title
Description
A rare recording of Puccini's almost-forgotten first opera, Le Villi, from 1994. This was the first complete opera recording starring tenor Josà Cura before he became world famous. Born in Argentina in 1962, Cura became the first musician to sing and conduct simultaneously, and to combine singing with symphonic works on the same program. Cura is known for his intensely dramatic portrayals, aided by charismatic stage presence as well as his ringing tenor voice, which is also able to encompass the upper register of baritone roles. Although seldom heard today, Le Villi had an enthusiastic public and critical reception at its 1884 premiere. One critic proclaimed Puccini "one of the most brilliant and most promising hopes of art."
