'This recording of an early Picinni inter-mezzo comes from Swiss Italian Radio, a source of previous welcome sets of 18th century operas.'
Early Music Review
This is the only available recording of Le donne vendicate.
Niccolò Piccinni was a prolific and popular composer, writing some 120 operas in Naples, Rome, and in Paris, where he was singing tutor to Marie Antoinette. Unintentionally he became mixed up in the famous Querelle surrounding the operas of Gluck, which prompted the management of the Opéra to commission a setting of Iphigénie en Tauride from both composers. In time, Gluck's proved more successful, and thus contributed to his greater reputation; however, Piccinni's lively and tuneful work enjoyed an extraordinary degree of popularity in his day.
