Balada, Leonardo: La Muerte De Colon (Naxos Audio CD 2-disc set)

• Composed as a sequel to Christopher Columbus, available on Naxos 8.660237-38, Leonardo Balada’s The Death of Columbus has been critically acclaimed as ‘uncommonly impressive and winning’.

• From its spectacular opening scene depicting the triumphant return of Columbus to Barcelona from his discovery of the New World, to the tormented delirium of the great explorer’s death-bed scene, The Death of Columbus is an intensely moving opera, filled with lyrical melodies and imaginative orchestration.

• This is a landmark addition to Naxos’s highly-praised series of Balada’s music.

“Naxos’s ongoing series of Balada's music is establishing him as a major and truly distinctive creative voice.” Classics Today
