Salieri - La Fiera di Venezia (Mazzulli, Zanasi, L'Arte del Mondo, Erhardt (320kbps .mp3)

A rare chance to hear one of Salieri's finest and sparkliest operas. La Fiera di Venezia, with an international cast of young singers and crack period instrument group L'Arte del Mondo in a performance recorded in May at this year's Schwetzingen Festival in Germany

The beautiful but low-born Falsirena tries ingenious ways of seducing Duke Ostrogoto, despite his engagement to a noblewoman: she poses successively as an unemployed opera singer, a French baroness and a German soap-seller against the background of the dazzling Venetian carnival
