About

This disc of Paisiello’s opera I Giochi Di Agrigento is a world première recording – and the fourth in Dynamic’s series promoting the music of this composer.

The opera was staged for the inauguration of the La Fenice Theatre in Venice in 1792. The subject matter is pure fantasy. A significant contribution to this success came from the music by Paisiello, who succeeded in adhering to the textual and conceptual innovations.

Giovanni Battista Rigon, who is a specialist in this particular kind of music, received praise for this production upon its original performance: “The remarkable musical performance led by Rigon with relentless pulse and unfailing tempo choices” (Carlo Vitali, Opera Today)

Director, Set & Costume designer: Marco Gandini.

Live Recording, Palazzo Ducale, Martina Franca, Italy, July 2006.
