In Iris it is melodic invention which shows Mascagni's s genius at its greatest. A melody by Mascagni is usually long, smooth and Italian-sounding; and Iris is full-on melody all the way, particularly in such crowd-pleasers as Jor's Serenade, the Hymn of the Sun or the duet in Act II Oh come al tuo sottile corpo s'aggira , which includes the famous Piovra . Furtheremore, with a little effort listeners can identify what would be the various musical numbers . In Iris, Mascagni is almost obsessively attentive to recitative and his exemplary flexibility at times recalls the sublime "conversation style" "invented" by Puccini. The present production was recorded live at the Teatro Goldoni, Livorno, in December of 2017.
