Description: this version of Donizetti’s unpublished cantata was proposed on the occasion of a concert entitled “Bergamo-Monaco, two towns, two composers” with the attempt to render also in the orchestration prepared on the basis of the original score for song and piano, the typical Donizetti instrumental style.

Attached is the program of the concert, containing other information and an interesting essay by Pierluigi Forcella dedicated to the history of musical relations between Bergamo and Bavaria.
