The recording was made at Venice’s beautiful Teatro La Fenice. With his sharp and lively conducting, Fabrizio Maria Carminati puts the Orchestra of the Teatro La Fenice entirely at the service of three exceptional singers, Sonia Ganassi (“an extraordinary performance,” Opera Today) as Elisabetta, Fiorenza Cedolins (“colorful, nuanced, highly dramatic heroine,” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) as Maria Stuarda, and José Bros as a passionate Leicester. “Maria Stuarda” is the most popular work in Donizetti’s trilogy of bel canto operas on Tudor queens. “Maestro Carminati looks an amiable, gentle soul as he enters the pit but he unleashes a firestorm of tension and passion in the big duets and his judicious tempi bind Donizetti’s not-so-easy recitatives into flowing music-drama. Ganassi is in superb fettle throughout, encompassing both power and agility…An outstanding release, and a great relief to be removed from the static period costume displays normally inflicted on this drama. – — Gramophone Magazine, May 2011 |
