Lawrence Brownlee Michael Spyres - Amici e Rivali on CD

Description

Michael Spyres and Lawrence Brownlee, strike sparks off each other as they celebrate the star tenors of Rossini's time, such as Andrea Nozzari, Giovanni David, and Manuel García. 'Amici e Rivali' - 'Friends and Rivals' - comprises arias, duets and trios from seven of the composer's operas, including the ever-popular 'Il barbiere di Siviglia' and the rarely heard 'Ricciardo e Zoraide'. The 'duelling tenors' are joined by the effervescent Irish mezzo-soprano Tara Erraught, the prize-winning young Spanish tenor Xabier Anduaga, I Virtuosi Italiani and conductor Corrado Rovaris.
