Vincenzo Bellini: Complete Operas & Other Works

"Vincenzo Bellini (1801 - 1835) was a Italian opera composer. A native of Catania in Sicily, his greatest works are I Capuleti ed i Montecchi (1830), La sonnambula (1831), Norma (1831), Beatrice di Tenda (1833), and I puritani (1835). Known for his long-flowing melodic lines, for which he was named "the Swan of Catania", Bellini was the quintessential composer of bel canto opera. He died in Puteaux, France at the age of 33, nine months after the premiere of his last opera, I puritani." - Wikipedia

    Hi there, I just wanted to say I love Ulysses Classical on Spotify.
    The only thing I notice - quite painfully, actually - is that where it says 'see less tracks' it should really say 'see fewer tracks'. Or you could simply say 'see more' and 'see less', without having the word tracks. Amending this would really help to make Ulysses the sophisticated app it almost is. :)
