Background: Federico Ricci's La Prigione di Edimborgo, immensely popular in its day had two hits - the lullaby 'Dormi dormi bel bamino' sung gloriously on this recording by Nucia Focile and the Baritone aria 'Sulla poppa del mio brik' song by the accomplished Christopher Purves. Like Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, it's based on a Walter Scott novel - this time it's the Heart of Midlothian.

The opera has two sopranos. In the Opera Rara recording they are Nuccia Focile and Elisabetto Scano and as one would expect they are rivals but instead of the 'tyrant/victim' relationship so often seen in these operas both women are equally sympathetic characters. The CD comes with a complete libretto and English translation, giving the listener the opportunity to understand how the various excerpts relate to the whole.
