The Other Conquest is now available as a Varese Sarabande iTunes exclusive. On November 8, 1519 the Spanish Conqueror Hernando Cortés and his small army rode into the Aztec capital of the vast Mexican Empire, where they were welcomed by the Emperor Moctezuma. Within two years, the Aztec civilization was in a state of orphanage, the survivors having lost their families, homes, language, temples... and Gods. The Other Conquest opens in May 1520 when Topiltzin (Damián Delgado), a skillful Aztec scribe who is one of Moctezuma's illegitimate sons, survives the Massacre of the Great Temple by hiding under a corpse. After the Spaniards leave the sacred site, he finds his people dead, including his mother. This Mexican epic features music by composers Samuel Zyman and Jorge Reyes and concludes with a stirring, original aria performed by the legendary Plácido Domingo. TRACK LISTING: 1.
