Pacini: Alessandro nell’Indie

Bruce Ford, Jennifer Larmore, Laura Claycomb, Dean Robinson & Mark Wilde

London Philharmonic Orchestra & Geoffrey Mitchell Choir, David Parry

The 3CD set comes with a lavishly illustrated book including a complete libretto with an English translation. Jeremy Commons gives a detailed account of the story behind the opera and its composition.

“Jennifer Larmore – vocal fireworks” (Erica Jeal, The Guardian, reviewing the concert performance)

“Giovanni Pacini (1796-1867)… was a rival of (in turn) Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini and Verdi. Bruce Ford, Jennifer Larmore and Laura Claycomb bring their roles to a vivid life, and David Parry is a persuasive conductor.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ****
