 Neglected Bel Canto Composers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Instead of ending with the usual solo scene for soprano, as is typical for almost all bel canto operas, its' finale, and dramatic climax is a violent confrontation between Elaisa (La gioconda) and Viscardo (Enzo), which ends with his killing her.
Of course, many later works were still to display characteristics of bel canto (as does Il giuramento) or to be throwbacks to this earlier era, but the pendulum had begun to swing and, with some exceptions, the prima donna and her final rondo were to become less and less important.
Another example of the composer's experimentation with form can be seen in the opening scene, where, instead of introducing each, or most, of the principals in separate set pieces, he opens with the usual chorus, gives the tenor and baritone short solos, and concludes with a reprise of a section of the original chorus.

John Conklin’s largely fl and gold neo-classical frames, stairs, and statuary, partially reworked from his “Ariodante,” effectively varied the action; panels occasioanlly opened to reveal a Claude Lorraine-like cloudscape at the back, falsely promising an Enlightenment resolution to this dark, violent tale that is, apart from Andromaca, dominated by selfish, brutal egotists.

"Bel Canto" sendiri mempunyai arti "Beautiful singing" atau menyanyi yang indah, sebutan ini biasanya digunakan dalam hubungannya dengan musik vocal Italia atau dalam opera-opera Italia, dan memang album ini diberi title tersebut oleh Mike del Ferro untuk didedikasikan pada ayahnya yaitu Leonardo del Ferro yang juga seorang penyanyi opera.
Yang menjadi pertanyaan dalam album ini bagaimana sebuah komposisi dari lagu-lagu opera tersebut yang biasanya bergaya romantik, kalimat-kalimatnya diterjemahkan dalam instrumentasi warna jazz yang mengandung unsur-unsur blues atau blue note, swing dan improvisasi, lalu apakah masih akan terasa keindahan-keindahan dari lagu-lagu opera tersebut?
Yang menarik dalam beberapa komposisi trio ini diiringi oleh String Quartet yaitu di lagu-lagu ballad "E lucevan le stele", Una furtive lagrima" yang meperkuat kesan klasik dan romantik, satu lagi di karya Verdi "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves : Va pensiero" yang terdengar warna gospelnya juga.
