1985), reissued on CD 2026 (1994). Fabio Maestri, Complesso da
camera dell'Associazione Filarmonica Umbra. Don Carissimo:
Georgio Gatti, baritone; Dirindina: Kate Gamberucci, soprano;
Liscione: Gianfranco Mari, sopranist. Comic intermezzo in which
the old music teacher, Don Carissimo, spies on Dirindina and the
castrato Liscione as they rehearse a scene from Didone
abbandonata and misapprehends the situation, leading to the
closing trio in which he sings "Give me your hand, Liscione,
give me yours Dirindina, for your little child will be
legitimate", and they respond "Stop -- I'm a capon! Stop -- I'm
a hen! A pair like that doesn't get together and never lays an
egg."
