New Light on Donizetti and Verdi

on BBC Radio 3

Winton Dean points to some interesting echoes of Donizetti in Verdi's operas. There are numerous stylistic parallels of a superficial nature but significant correspondences, where Verdi echoes Donizetti on a deeper level, begin in Macbeth and continue as late as La lorza del destino.
