{"product_id":"donizetti-vesper-psalms-2","title":"Donizetti: Vesper Psalms","description":"Gaetano Donizetti is renowned as a leading composer of the Italian romantic bel canto opera style during the first half of the 19th century. But in his earlier years and as a student of Simon Mayr his dramatic genius came to the fore in his settings of psalm texts for Vespers, a form then still popular in Italy both in secular and liturgical contexts. Donizetti's Vesper Psalms are characterized by beautifully shaped operatic melodies and colorful orchestration on a grand scale, creating moments of real rhetorical force- outstanding features of works that have lain undiscovered in manuscript form for two centuries.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49709505478936,"sku":"747313391073","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3905661.jpg?v=1777566325","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/donizetti-vesper-psalms-2","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
