Thank you " jovi1715" for this post, this is my first time listening to this Bonno opera. I think Giuseppe Bonno is more successful than Haydn's. 36 composers composed their versions L'isola disabitata on Metastasius' libretto.Niccolò Jommelli 1760., London,Tommaso Traetta 1765., Davide Perez 1767.

The Desert Island
A highly underrated composer.
There is a very nice Haydn’s take on the same libretto.
