Donizetti: Linda Di Chamounix (complete opera recorded in 2021) BLU-RAY

"Deploying her voluminously secure soprano with artistry, [Pratt] gives us a sweetly innocent 'O luce di quest'anima' and skilfully navigates the once-famous Mad Scene. Her romantic partner is attractively voiced by Francesco Demuro, whose rapierlight tenor has ideal cutting edge in their duets...Best is Teresa Iervolino's balladsinger Pierotto." Opera

"Francesco Demuro also specializes in bel canto. He sings his second act aria with melting beauty and joins Pratt on a high D at the end. … Fabio Capitonucci performs the Marchese with flair and a sense of fun, aided by excellent diction. Most people today will view his character as a hopeless abuser of women. Michele Pertusi plays the deus ex machina character of the Prefetto with great authority… Vittorio Prato sings Linda's vindictive father with an elegant, refined baritone that one longs to hear in more sympathetic roles. Teresa Iervolino sings the trouser role of Pierotto with a rich, dark mezzo of great beauty." American record Guide
