Product Description
CD87833 Bellini, I Puritani Geneva 7 Feb 2011
as requested by Dennis: an upload of Bellini's I Puritani as broadcast by RSR
Espace 2 on March 12 and recorded via digital satellite at 256kbps/48kHz. The
mp2 files contain an act each and can easily be converted into the format you
prefer by most modern converters.
The speaker or Espace 2 announced a cast "as of 7 February 2011", so though the
recording may have been made "in February" it probably basically derives from
the performance of that day.
In Geneva, the opera was performed according to a new edition with additional
musical material in acts 1 and 3.
Enjoy, Willi
