Donizetti / Hauk / Gubba-Chkheidze- Vesper Psalms (CD)
Gaetano Donizetti is renowned as a leading composer of the Italian romantic bel canto opera style during the first half of the 19th century. But in his earlier years and as a student of Simon Mayr his dramatic genius came to the fore in his settings of psalm texts for Vespers, a form then still popular in Italy both in secular and liturgical contexts. Donizetti's Vesper Psalms are characterized by beautifully shaped operatic melodies and colorful orchestration on a grand scale, creating moments of real rhetorical force- outstanding features of works that have lain undiscovered in manuscript form for two centuries.
Tracklist:
- Domine Ad Adjuvandum In C Major
- Dixit Dominus In C Major
- Tecum Principium In F Major
- Dominus A Dextris In D Minor
- De Torrente In F Major
