Rossini’s Edipo a Colono
Tells the story of Rossini’s incidental music to Sophocles’ Edipo a Colono [Oedipus at Colonus], from its rediscovery by Henry Prunières in 1933 to the recording, 20 years later, directed by Natale Gallini with Plinio Clabassi, bass, as the protagonist; this recording is the only one at present. Critical commentary is included.
