In this complete studio recording of a newly prepared critical edition - the first on period instruments - Giovanni Antonini and Cecilia Bartoli reveal Norma's authentic pre-Romantic roots and return to Bellini's original conception. The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today's listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles, while Adalgisa was coneived for light, silvery soprano. With Cecilia Bartoli and Sumi Jo heard here for the first time on record together, this iconic oprea has been restored as Bellini originally intended.
