Martin y Soler: Una Cosa Rara

Why Soler's opera, and Cimarosa's 'Il Segreto Matrimonio' were more famous and popular at the time of Mozart's 'Marriage of Figaro' ? Have taste and fashion changed that much over the years, or was the audience of the time blinded and guided by the Viennese Imperial power?So interesting to investigate by oneself. This rare recording is a contribution to untangle the intricacies of the art and the dominant politics. Highly recommended for lovers of opera in context. This is why 5 stars.
