Witold Zoladkiewicz (Don Procopio), Gabriela Kaminska (Donna Bettina), Iwona Kowalkowska (Donna Eufemia), Olivier Heyte (Don Andronico), Pierre-Yves Pruvot (Don Ernesto), Wojciech Parchelm (Don Odoardo), Bogdan Sliwa (Pasquino) Orchestra and Chorus of the Warsaw Chamber Opera, Didier Talpain Stylistically, this work is close to Donizetti and Rossini. The ensembles use the well-tested techniques in use since Cimarosa’s Il Matrimonio Segreto (1792); solo arias (there are only two in this work, which favours ensembles) strictly follow the canons of the day. Particular attention was given by Bizet to the orchestration. Two harps, a guitar and a mandolin complete a classical orchestra (with 4 horns) which, on two occasions, is tinged with the nostalgic hue of English horns. Don Procopio is at the same time a tribute to and a re-visitation of Rossini, Donizetti and all other Italian composers of opera buffa of the 1810-40s. | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
