Since its foundation in 2013, the Berliner Operngruppe has made a name for itself by giving annual, semi-staged first performances in Berlin of works such as Donizetti’s Deux hommes et une femme and Betly, together with other operatic rarities. This album is the world premiere recording, made on 14 May 2023, of Donizetti’s opera Dalinda, a work that had a brush with the censors, similar to that experienced by his opera Lucrezia Borgia, and disappeared unperformed until it was rediscovered a few years ago by the musicologist Eleonora Di Cintio, in whose critical RICORDI edition it’s heard here.
May 2024
The new recording has all the pros and cons of a live recording when it comes to sound – uneven in its balance, but alive with drama. The role of Dalinda is extremely demanding, and Russian soprano Lidia Fridman gives us plenty of thrills, with a dark fury in her tone and real dramatic presence throughout.
