Verdi: Un Giorno Di Regno
Label: TACTUS Catalog: TC812290 Format: CD Belcanto Chorus; Roma Sinfonietta; Faggiani; BonolisComposed by: Verdi, Giuseppe Among Verdi’s early productions, the comic opera Un giorno di regno had a particularly unlucky fate, written as it was after the success of his first opera, Oberto, but also during a time of unspeakable personal tragedy with the death of his two sons followed shortly by that of his wife. Its fiasco 1840 premiere is, however, a distant, forgotten memory; the opera is far from being the disaster it had been considered for many years. For this Tactus release, Gabriele Bonolis leads the Roma Sinfonietta and a singing cast featuring baritone Mikheil Kiria and soprano Alice Quintavalla. Price: $35.98 |
