PACINI: Saffo

A rival of Bellini and Donizetti, Giovanni Pacini outlived both, achieving his greatest success in 1840 with Saffo, based on the life and suicide of the Greek poetess of Lesbos. Described by Rossini as the composer with the most genius in Italy, Pacini here breaks away from the pattern set by Rossini in a work suggesting the influence of Bellini’s Norma in its dramatic intensity.
