Notes

- Includes nice 40 page libretto

- Bomarzo is an opera in two acts by Alberto Ginastera, his Opus 34, to a Spanish libretto by Manuel Mujica Laínez, based on his 1962 novel about the 16th-century Italian eccentric Pier Francesco Orsini. The opera had its world premiere at the Opera Society of Washington, Washington D.C., on 19 May 1967. The same production was first given at New York City Opera on 14 March 1968.

  The work had been scheduled for its first performance in Argentina on 4 August 1967 at the Teatro Colón, but the Argentine president, Juan Carlos Onganía, had banned the production, objecting to the sexual content of the story. The first performance in Argentina did not occur until 1972, with the composer in attendance. The first UK production was at English National Opera on 3 November 1976, in an English translation by Lionel Salter.

The opera makes use of the twelve-tone technique and quarter tones, the latter primarily in the harp parts. The work's two acts encompass a prelude and 15 scenes. Pola Suarez Urtubey has published an analysis of the opera with an outline of the dramatic structure

- Alberto Evaristo Ginastera (Spanish pronunciation: [alˈβerto eβaˈɾisto xinasˈteɾa]; April 11, 1916 – June 25, 1983) was an Argentine composer of classical music. He is considered one of the most important 20th-century classical composers of the Americas.

- Julius Rudel (6 March 1921 – 26 June 2014) was an American opera and orchestra conductor. He was born in Vienna and was a student at the city's Academy of Music. He emigrated to the United States at the age of 17 in 1938 after the country was annexed by Germany.

We want you to be happy with your purchase, below is a guide to how we rate our records. We rate both the records and the record jacket. 

If the record does not live up to our grading upon receipt, please email us through EBAY before leaving a Feedback or Rating so that we may correct it for you.

General standards For Record Grading

(M) Mint Record still shrink wrapped, new copy of a record.

(NM) Near Mint Almost perfect record that has usually only been played 1-3 times, in "like new" condition, no visual defects.

(NM-/ EX+) Almost near mint, maybe a few very light marks, nearly perfect.

(VG+/ EX) Very Good Plus / Excellent Record - will show minor signs that it was played but otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surface may show light scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.

An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print & sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus (VG+) record highly acceptable.

(VG) Very Good Record has more wear than VG+ with some more surface noise, light pops, scuffs or light scratches. Generally still a great playing copy, no skips. Jacket may have more shelf wear, a little writing, sticker residue, punch out/cut out holes or corners.

(VG-) Very Good Minus Record has noticeable groove wear, discoloration, surface noise, louder pops, marks & scratches/ scuffs but still a decent playing copy, no skips. Cover may has heavier shelf wear, more discoloration and split seams.

(G/ G+) Good/ Good Plus Record still plays without skipping but has considerable amounts of groove wear, discoloration, surface noise, scuffs, and/or scratches.  Sleeve has a lot of wear and some defects such as split seams, heavy creasing, writing, marks, sticker residue, etc...
