Verdi: I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata

Nino Machaidze, Réka Kristóf, Piero Pretti, Galeano Salas, Miklós Sebestyén, Michele Pertusi, Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Munich Radio Orchestra, Ivan Repušić

Ivan Repušić made his debut as principal conductor of the Munich Radio Orchestra in September 2017 with Giuseppe Verdi's "Luisa Miller". It was followed by "I due Foscari" in October 2018 and "Attila" in October 2019 (the complete recordings have already been released by BR-KLASSIK on CD 900323, 900328 and 900330). His successful cycle of early masterpieces by the Italian opera composer continues with the recent concert performance on April 23, 2023 of Verdi's stage work "I Lombardi" – also at the Prinzregententheater in Munich. Authentic fluidity and vocal splendour are provided here once again by outstanding performers and the Bavarian Radio Chorus. The Munich Radio Orchestra plays under the direction of Ivan Repuŝić. - This highlight of Munich's musical life from the early part of this year has now been released by BR-KLASSIK as a double CD.

Machaidze takes on the principal role of Giselda with vocal power and panache, although her phrasing can be angular and her top range is a little harsh at times...The Munich chorus is vigorous and expressive in the rousing and reflective choruses, and Ivan Repušić energetically propels the orchestra forward.
