Bellini: Adelson e Salvini

Up and coming bel canto specialist Daniele Rustioni leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Bellini's first opera, Adelson e Salvini, written in 1825 while the composer was still a student at the Naples Conservatory. This is Opera Rara's third complete opera recording of music by Bellini, following La straniera and Il Pirata, and is the symphony's fourth collaboration with the label. Daniela Barcellona sings the role of Nelly and is joined by Enea Scala as Salvini and Simone Alberghini as Lord Adelson. Opera Rara's revival is based on a new critical edition using Bellini s original score. This studio recording was made a week prior to a concert performance given at the Barbican in May of 2016.
