This is the finale of Ruggero Leoncavallo's last work "Edipo Re" based on the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. It was premiered in 1920 and the title-role was sung by the great Titta Ruffo. This recording is from a live performance in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Michael Davidson, my dad :), sings Edipo. Kees Bakels conducts.
