Il Guarany: Tank Patassini
Gomes
The Brazilian-born composer Antônio
Carlos Gomes (1836-96) found
immediate success in Europe with Il
Guarany, his first opera to be staged
there, ensuring his reputation at the
time despite being little-known today.
As recently as two decades ago, however,
this work was re-staged in Germany,
by Werner Herzog no less, and starring
Plácido Domingo!
The highly authentic, idiomatic and
definitive studio recording at hand,
dating from Sao Paulo, 1959 here makes
a welcome return to the active catalog.
