Ruggero Raimondi, Paoletta Marrocu Orchestra Sinfonica della provincia di Bari, Piergiorgio Morandi First-ever film recording of Pizzetti’s operatic version of TS Eliot’s play, ‘Murder in the Cathedral’, telling the story of Thomas Becket’s murder by the knights of Henry II. Starring the world-renowned Ruggero Raimondi as the doomed archbishop.
The only large-scale work to have survived by Pizzetti, this piece of This sacred drama is a rare curiosity telling the black and gory tale of the murder of Thomas Becket.
Filmed as a staged performance in the spectacular Basilica di San Nicola in Bari, this is the only film version available, making this a must for all opera afficionados wanting something a little different! “Decca's DVD is to be welcomed in this 40th anniversary year of Pizzetti's death, a reminder of his creative genius. Visually, the production is simple but effective. The sound is well balanced, the basilican acoustic suiting the music, and the performances all round are excellent.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
