A brief discussion of the opera, and its' two existent recordings is provided at this time. It is intended to expand it shortly.
One recording (a pirated version on Italian Opera Rarities that can in no way be recommended, and is in rather poor sound) while there is a second recording, released in 1998, which is one of the major new operatic releases of that or any other year.
