By Ensemble Lorenzo da Ponte, Ferrara Coro Accademia di Santo Spirito, Francesca Lombardi-Mazzulli, Jan Petryka, Roberto Zarpellon, and Vivica Genaux. By Ferdinando Bertoni. Classical. Listening CD. Naxos #FB 1601729. Published by Naxos (NX.FB-1601729).

The 70 operas by Ferdinando Bertoni (1725 to 1813) are almost all forgotten, except for his Orfeo. The opera is based on the same libretto as Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, and was also composed for the same castrato, Gaetano Guadagni. Unlike Gluck however Bertoni created a true-opera seria, which celebrates its rediscovery here in recording with Vivica Genaux.
