Who was born first, Benjamin Britten or Gaetano Donizetti?
Gaetano Donizetti Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti (] ; 29 November 1797 – 8 April 1848) was an Italian composer. Along with Gioachino Rossini and Vincenzo Bellini, Donizetti was a leading composer of the "bel canto" opera style during the first half of the nineteenth century. Donizetti's close association with the bel canto style was undoubtedly an influence on other composers such as Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901).
Don Giovanni (album) Don Giovanni is an album by the Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti. Nearly four years in its making, it was released in March 1986 by the Numero Uno label and was later re-released by Sony BMG. In stylistic terms, it features an avant-garde blend of an almost minimalist sound, featuring synthpop inspired electronics, with classic Italian popular music. The title of the album alludes to Mozart's famous work "Don Giovanni".
