Gregory Kunde is not only Otello at Rossini Festival, but, next Sunday, he'll also give a recital concert -- accompanied by Beryl Garver on the piano (Chris Merritt was supposed to sing, but he canceled).
The VERY interesting program: Beethoven's Adelaide; Chanson triste, Le manoir de Rosemonde, Phydile by Opera Chic's beloved Henri Duparc. The Year's at the Spring, Ah, Love, but a Day and I Send My Heart up to Thee by Amy Marcy Cheney Beach; Guitare, Comment, disaient-ils?, Puisqùici-bas toute, Dieu qui sourit et qui donne by Edouard-Victor-Antoine Lalo; and finally Rossini: Pechès de vieillesse: Vol. XIII, Musique anodine «Mi lagnerò tacendo» n. 1 Prelude, allegretto moderato, n. 4 allegretto moderato, n. 3 Andantino moderato; Vol. I, Album italiano n. 3 Tirana alla spagnola rossinizzata.
