Always on the look out for rare romantic operas, I was intrigued by the forthcoming broadcast of three short Argentinian operas next Saturday on Radio Clasica Argentina.

From what I can find out , the three composers were all born around 1880/90s but I can find little about their music.

Might be worth a go though. Hopefully they are early works like those of Carillo and Schoenberg which are more accessible than their later stuff..

There are articles on all three composers on Wikipaedia and an extensive review of Lin Calel on the Musica Clasica Argentina website.

The Palma and Schiuma operas were seemingly written in the 1920s whilst Lin Calel dates from around 1939.

A couple of extracts on Youtube sound quite promising.
