Goffredo Petrassi's one-act opera Il Cordovano, based on a Cervantes interlude about a jealous old husband and a young wife, dates from the forties and reached its definitive form in 1958. It is the work of a composer who could be biting and lyrical in the same bar, with a comic sharpness that owes something to Stravinsky and nothing to verismo.
Recorded live on 25 February 1984 at the Auditorium del Foro Italico in Rome, with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma della RAI and the RAI chorus under Marcello Panni, and a cast including Slavka Taskova and Nucci Condò. Issued by Ricordi in 1987 with photographs by Roberto Masotti.
