Conductor Alberto Veronesis inspiration to celebrate Leoncavallos work results in a revelatory recording by uniting Plcido Domingo, the worlds most celebrated living tenor, with virtuoso pianist Lang Lang.
A relatively unknown masterwork recounting the passionate vis--vis of a poet with his muse, La Nuit de Mai is a romantic symphonic piece for tenor based on Mussets poem of the same name. Plcido Domingos emotion laden tenor negotiates La Nuits lyric and dramatic demands with characteristic impact and bravura.
Suavely accompanying Plcido Domingo in a selection of short songs, Lang Lang concludes this novel album with two dazzling solo piano pieces.
