About

Composed as a sequel to Christopher Columbus, Leonardo Balada’s The Death of Columbus has been critically acclaimed as ‘uncommonly impressive and winning’.

From its spectacular opening scene depicting the triumphant return of Columbus to Barcelona from his discovery of the New World, to the tormented delirium of the great explorer’s death-bed scene, The Death of Columbus is an intensely moving opera, filled with lyrical melodies and imaginative orchestration.

This is a landmark addition to Naxos’s highly-praised series of Balada’s music.

Cast:
- Cristóbal Colón: Jon Garrison
- Queen Isabella: Judith Jenkins
- Beatriz Enriquez: Katherine Mueller
- Margarit / Hernando / Vespucci: Arturo Martín
- Aguado / Diego / Magellan: Dimitrie Lazich
- Friar Boil / Diego / Zapata: Raymond Blackwell
- King Ferdinand: Brent Stater

Naxos’s ongoing series of Balada's music is establishing him as a major and truly distinctive creative voice.” - Classics Today
