The Bel Canto Collection
Explore over 100 titles featuring the music of iconic Bel Canto composers: Vincenzo Bellini, Gioachino Rossini, and Gaetano Donizetti.
Originating in Italy, bel canto — or "beautiful singing" — was the prevailing writing style for vocal music across Europe in the 18th and early 19th centuries, marked by emotionally informed writing and highly articulated phrasing. Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti set themselves apart as three masters of the style.
