As an introduction to our Il Salotto series La Rimembranza could not be a better place tostart. The release of this recording prompted BBC Music Magazine to say ’Opera Rara’sgenius lies not just in its ability to rediscover lost works but in the quality of performers it attracts.’ And George Hall in his review for Opera Now says ‘This is music of the highestquality delivered with unfailing verve and panache.’ Definitely worth a try.
