Description: A useful collection of early and obscure Wagner songs (the Faust pair date from 1831) and the rarely-heard Italian version of the Wesendonck Lieder which Boito made in 1867. The notes are practically Hyperionesque, making this a ridiculous bargain! German, French, Italian texts. Michela Sburlati (soprano), Marco Scolastra (piano).
