Vecchi: L'Amfipamaso

The classic music theatre work of the Italian Renaissance, written the same year as the first opera and based on the characters of the commedia dell’arte – old men, cowards, scheming servants and self-obsessed lovers. The slapstick for the comic characters is perfectly balanced by the ravishing Gesualdo-esque writing for the lovers. Source: https://microsites.ifagiolini.com/recordings/lamfiparnaso/
