Last November, we released two additional Donizetti song tracks with Canadian soprano Sarah Dufresne - one in French and one in Italian - with Carlo Rizzi.

You can listen to both on your favourite streaming platform or via our YouTube channel 🎶

This is an extract from 'La Bergère du Tyrol “Ô la belle campagne”' - never recorded before and only recently identfied as part of Donizetti's canon in 2022 by musicologist Ruben Vernazza.
