You can find FULL pdf booklet, tracklist, cast and audio samples at K617 official website
The recording is yet again perfect, like many others K617 recordings. Orchestra plays on historical instruments with Vallotti temperament and A at 415hz.
The booklet is really full of infos (almost 80 pages!) translated in the 3 main languages: french, english and spanish. Libretto is in in italian (of course, it is an italian opera) with french only translation. Don't worry even if you don't speak neither italian nor french is easy to follow the plot, which basically is the same of the Mozart's opera with the same name (Il Re Pastore K208), also the booklet tells you everything you need to know.

wavpack file with embedded cuesheet, separate cuesheet properly tagged and replaygained, EAC logs, PDF booklet and HQ scans of the cover.
