Zingari

Um, with Opera Rara we were hugely fortunate that, um, Martin Fitzpatrick has worked with Opera Rara before on a couple of projects which involved reorchestration.

Crucially, Zingari, in fact-

... um, which we worked together because, um, when Opera Rara recorded Zingari, it was recreating the original London version of Zingari.

Um, Zingari has always been performed in a later revision.

Right.

And I found when I looked at the sources that actually Leoncavallo had cut quite a bit of music from the first version, and Martin worked to reorchestrate this.
