Pacini/ Gimenez/ Tamar/ Rivenq/ Bonfatti - Lultimo Giorno Di Pompei

This sole available recording of Pacini's masterpiece L'Ultimo giorno di Pompei, unfolding quickly and tightly with exciting solo passages over a carefully written orchestral support, is indebted, thus, in it's typology, to the Rossini an concertato before it was characterized by the emphatic lyricism of the 'thirties.
