the album cover for Thalberg / Nicolosi - Fantasies On Operas

Sigismond Thalberg was one of the most distinguished pianists of his time, embarking on a solo career in the 1830s and touring as far as the Americas. Thalberg was considered a rival to Liszt though their supposed animosity was largely a journalistic invention. The creation of transcriptions of popular operatic melodies and their transformation into virtuoso concert pieces was hugely fashionable, but Thalberg's treatments were also admired by Schumann for their Classical transparency, and for stylish technical innovations that saw him imitated throughout Europe. These fantasies on themes by Donizetti are full of the lyrical charm and drama of the original operas, combined with pianistic fireworks that delighted audiences worldwide.

Tracklist:

  1. Fantaisie Sur "La Fille Du Régiment", Op. 68 (After Donizetti's A. 56)
  2. Grande Fantaisie Sur Les Motifs De "Don Pasquale", Op. 67 (After Donizetti's A. 64)
  3. Fantaisie Sur "Lucrezia Borgia", Op. 50 (After Donizetti's A. 41)
  4. Andante Final De "Lucia Di Lammermoor", Op. 44 (After Donizetti's A. 46)
  5. Introduzione E Variazioni Sulla Barcarola Dell' "Elisir D'amore", Op. 66 (After Donizetti's A. 36)
