 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Deutsche Grammophon follows-up a number of highly successful Puccini projects with Alberto Veronesi with this all-new release of Mascagni’s charming, if little-known, opera—L’amico Fritz. Featuring a stunning love duet (“Suzel, buon dě”—The Cherry Duet) and many memorable melodies, this is the composer’s second most famous work following the immensely popular Cavalleria Rusticana.

Few recordings of the opera exist; therefore, any new addition to the catalog is most welcome. For this recording, Deutsche Grammophon has brought together Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu—a pair famous for their on and off stage partnership. The recording was made in 2008 from wildly acclaimed live performances at Berlin’s Deutsche Oper, eliciting superlatives from the critics:

“The soloists gave of their phenomenal best and the orchestra under Veronesi played sensationally…I can’t recall the last time I heard such enthusiastic (and prolonged) applause at the Deutsche Oper.”—klassik.com
