Nabucco


Nabucco opera, 2007

I agree, I am repeating myself. But this is so great music. And Bertolucci's Novecento movie started with the death of Verdi in 1901 with so great Robert De Nero and Dominique Sanda. We are definitely on romantic territory now ... ;)

Maybe I will post a full opera some time. The West Side Story would be nice. The Romeo and Julliet theme by Leonard Bernstein.

For now I restrict myself to some Nabucco tracks. Guiseppe Verdi [1813-1901] is an Italian opera composer who made some popular and splattering music that ordinary people could whistle in the streets (volume up);
- First track (Ouverture) of the Nabucco opera
- Va Pensiero is the Hebrew Slave choir song

Enjoy
