Description

Product Description To celebrate Giuseppe Verdis bicentenary in 2013, C Major is proud to present the truly unique project, TUTTO VERDI: All 26 operas released on DVD and Blu-ray, together with his immortal Requiem and special documentary.Oberto was the first of Verdis operas to be staged and was heard for the first time at La Scala, Milan, in November 1839. As a young and unknown composer, Verdi was subject to the rules then governing the opera industry in Italy. Even so, there are already many scenes in this early work that reveal unmistakable signs of the composers individual style. This is how Verdi should be played.Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Tutto Verdi. Review Pentcheva's Cuniza is classily sung: she has a rich, full mezzo and a feel for Verdian legato… Antonello Allemandi balances voices and orchestra well from the miniscule pit. --Mark Pullinger, International Record Review
