专辑简介
A rare complete recording of an opera, or more accurately azione teatrale (theater piece), put together in 1829 - in America - from the music of various composers, including Mozart, by Mozart's famous friend and librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte. Da Ponte created three versions of this hodgepodge, creating the final version in 1829 in both Italian and English, with the first performance in New York City. The music was "borrowed" from previous works by both Mozart and his famous rival, Salieri as well as Domenico Cimarosa, Nicola Zingarelli, and finally, Rossini. The play itself, L'ape musicale ("The Musical Bee") is the only thing by Da Ponte. He is most famous for the three librettos he wrote for Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi fan tutte, but he also worked with composers such as Martin y Soler and Salieri.
After getting into various scrapes and troubles from Venice to Vienna, Da Ponte finally came to the US, where he ran a grocery store in Philadelphia and later a bookstore in New York. Making friends with Clement Clarke Moore, author of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Da Ponte got an appointment at Columbia University as its first Professor of Italian Literature. He became as US citizen in 1828, at the age of seventy-nine.
