RECORDING INFORMATION AY AY AY! - Complete on CD for the first time . An outstanding Peruvian tenor from a generation before Juan Diego Florez... Peruvian-born Luigi Alva (born Lima 10 April 1927) first appeared in his native Lima in 1949 and made his European debut in 1954 when he sang Alfredo at the Teatro Nuovo in Milan. In 1957 he appeared in Edinburgh in Il matrimonio segreto and was a regular in Milan, where he also sang in some contemporary pieces including Luciano Chailly's Una domanda di matrimonio. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Luigi Alva appeared regularly in a number of important opera houses including Covent Garden, Chicago, and New York's Met. Luigi Alva participated in the Decca recording of L'Italiana in Algeri with Teresa Berganza under the direction of Silvio Varviso, and achieved great distinction for his Rossini and Mozart interpretations. This 1963 recital of Spanish and Latin American songs is a wonderful reminder of a different side of his repertory and it appears complete on CD for the first time. Classic Recitals - www.deccaclassics.com/classicrecitals Decca's recorded legacy is dominated by the huge number of complete opera recordings and vocal recitals. While a vast number of these recordings have seen CD release in the past 20 years, many of the original LP recitals have been reissued with other material in order to increase the overall playing time due to the longer time available on CD and modern covers have replaced the originals. This new mini-series is unashamedly nostalgic and presents original recitals as they were first published during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Original LP cover art is reproduced and the original back of the LP is used as the inside of the digipack. A clear tray is used with a detail from the original LP sleeve as a background, and the back of the digipack gives the tracklist and artist details in a uniform, current style. |
