Anna Netrebko, Rolando Vilazn, Thomas Hampson, Carlo Rizzi: Wiener Philharmoniker Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (Italian pronunciation: [duzppe verdi]; 10 Octobe r 1813 27 January 1901) was an Italian Romantic composer, mainly of opera. He was one of the most influential composers of the 19th century. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture - such as "La donna mobile" from Rigoletto, "Va, p ensiero" (The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Nabucco, "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (The Drinking Song) from La traviata and the "Grand March" from Aida. Although his work was sometimes criticized for using a generally diatonic rather than a chromatic musi cal idiom and having a tendency toward melodrama. Verdis masterworks dominate the standard repertoire a century and a half after th eir composition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Verdi La traviata is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi set to an Italian libret to by Francesco Maria Piave. It is based on La dame aux Camlias (1852), a play adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, fils. The title "La traviata" means literally The Fallen Woman, or perhaps more figuratively, The Woman Who Goes Astray. It was or iginally entitled Violetta, after the main character. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_traviata Recorded August 2005 Live Grosses Festspielhaus, Salzburg, Austria Produced By:Bogdan Dr. Roscic, Executive Producer Rainer Maillard, Recording Producer Balance Engineer:Rainer Maillard Gregor Hornacek DDD Stereo Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor Chorus master: Rupert Huber Language coach: Stefano Gibellato Mozarteum Orchester (stage music) Wiener Philharmoniker Conductor: Carlo Rizzi Violetta Valry, a courtesan soprano: Anna Netrebko Flora Bervoix, Violetta's friend mezzo-soprano: Helene Schneiderman Annina, Violetta's maid soprano: Diane Pilcher Alfredo Germont, a young bourgeois from a provincial family: Rolando Vilazn Giorgio Germont, Alfredo's father: Thomas Hampson Gastone, Visconte de Letoris Alfredo's friend tenor: Salvatore Cordella Barone Douphol, Violetta's lover, a rival of Alfredo baritone: Paul Gay Marchese d'Obigny bass: Herman Walln Dottore Grenvil bass: Luigi Roni Giuseppe, Violetta's servant tenor: Dritan Luca
