L'Amore dei tre Re

by Italo Montemezzi (1875-1952)

Pinza, Moore, Kullman, Bonelli

Conducted by the Composer

A long-neglected twentieth century masterpiece which deserves a place in the repertoire; a marvelously evocative, shatteringly dramatic score of great lyricism, suffused with the poetry of a remarkable libretto. This broadcast, conducted by the composer, offers Ezio Pinza in the leading role, giving a performance that is unforgettable in its power and anguished eloquence. The cast includes Grace Moore, Richard Bonelli and Charles Kullman. This release offers a booklet containing articles on the performance and the opera’s history, with rare photographs of the production. It also includes the broadcast commentary that preserves the ovations this production so richly deserved. Taken altogether, the music, the voices, the story, will haunt your memory for a long time to come.
