Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor stands as a cornerstone of the bel canto tradition, presented here in a carefully curated 2-CD edition.

This recording features the opera’s defining highlights, including the iconic “Mad Scene” and the poignant final duet. Ideal as a collector’s item or an accessible introduction to Donizetti’s lyrical genius, this edition offers both emotional power and a refined presentation.
