A Contemporary Of Rossini And Donizetti, Saverio Mercadante Was One Of Italy’S Most Productive 19Th Century Operatic Composers. Don Chisciotte Alle Nozze Di GamaccioWas Written During The Composer’S Stay In Spain, And Is Based On A Chapter Of Cervante’S Don Quixote In Which The Hero Prevents The Forced Marriage Of A Poor Farm Girl To The Wealthy Camacho. Magnificently Entertaining And Dramatically Innovative, Don Chisciotte Combines Fashionable Neapolitan Style With Spanish Folk Music Elements In An Unforgettable Melodramma Giocoso. It Is Heard On This Recording In Its First Modern Performance.
