[Erik Bruchez]

Dear list,

Mascagni.org features new songs and piano pieces by Cheri Rose Katz
and Alan Mallach:

  The Unknown Mascagni - Songs and Piano Pieces
  http://www.mascagni.org/sounds/unknown-mascagni

  This page presents a selection of songs and piano pieces performed
  live by Cheri Rose Katz (mezzo soprano) and Alan Mallach (piano),
  recorded in Roosevelt, New Jersey, USA on March 20, 2004.

  The selection goes from Mascagni's best-known songs, Serenata and
  M'ama... non m'ama, to rarities such as his wonderful La luna from
  1912. It also includes piano pieces, namely the famous Intermezzo
  composed in 1888 and soon after included in Cavalleria Rusticana,
  the subtle Visone lirica from 1923, and the rare Pensiero a San
  Francisco, composed by Mascagni during his visit of San Francisco in
  1903. The set ends with the famous Voi lo sapete, o mamma from
  Cavalleria Rusticana.

  Alan Mallach is a pianist, composer and independent scholar. He has
  written numerous articles and commentaries on opera for such
  publications as Opera Quarterly and Nuova Rivista Musicale
  Italiana. He lives in Roosevelt, New Jersey. He has recently
  published the first in-depth biography of Mascagni in English,
  Pietro Mascagni and His Operas.

As a reminder, more songs and piano pieces are available:
