"The pricipal piece in this album is called: "the feast of fat Thusrday" (as opposed to good Friday). It is a series of small jewels of witty, iconoclastic numbers. Be ready for dogs, cats and cuckoss in this carnival-type feast. Wonderful humor for those who understand Italian, burlesque fun for all others, all within the typical resources of period Italian music: a small orchestral ensemble and choir. Artistic performance is first class, recording quality among the finest I have come across. Who said Italian musical fun began with Rossini?"
