Notes & Reviews:

The success of the first Opera Rara Collection created the demand for this second disc of highlights from their catalog of 19th century rarities. Once again it is the amazing variety that grabs the listner's attention. One can choose a large-scale ensemble from Donizetti's electric "L'assedio di Calais" with Della Jones, or switch to intimacy in a Pacini song featuring the delightful Enkelejda Shkosa. In addition, two albums to be issued later this year are previewed.
