With the great operatic scores of Aida, La Traviata, Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, Otello and Falstaff, Giuseppe Verdi became the most famous composer Italy had produced. He was prolific, and at one stage of his career composed seventeen operas in 20 years. Il Trovatore was completed in 1863, and followed the success enjoyed by Rigoletto. Opera had never before witnessed such a triumph, and within a matter of a few years it had been performed in every part of the world. It's mixture of love and drama is captured in a series of outstanding arias and choruses that have entered the popular operatic repertoire. The highlights of the work, including the Anvil Chorus, and the arias Stride la vampa, and Di quella pira, are contained in this disc taken from the complete opera recording on Naxos 8.660023/4.
