I Lombardi alla prima crociata
Overview: I Lombardi alla prima crociata (The Lombards on the First Crusade) was Verdi’s fourth opera and received its first performance at La Scala, Milan, in February 1843. The grandiloquent subject matter is fleshed-out with broad-brushed musical and dramatic effects and lavish choral scenes created a correspondingly impressive impact. A great success in Milan, it spread to the rest of Europe within a matter of only a few years.

Giuseppe Verdi : La forza del destino
Overview: Donna Leonora, daughter of the Marquis of Calatrava, is preparing to flee secretly with her lover Don Alvaro (son of the Viceroy of Mexico and an Inca princess).

As he dies, he curses his daughter. Don Carlo di Vargas, Leonora's brother, decides to avenge the death of his sister and her fiancé. In the turmoil of the chase, Leonora and Alvaro lose each other... Live recording made on 2 and 5 February 2011 at the Teatro Regio in Parma. The libretto by Francesco Piave is based on a play by Ángel Saavedra (1791 - 1865), Duke of Rivas, ‘Don Álvaro o la Fuerza del sino’ (1835). The plot of this romantic drama is based entirely on coincidence, chance and unexpected encounters. In a word, fate.

La battaglia di Legnano
Overview: Part of Tutto Verdi series - La battaglia di Legnano (2012) Trieste. 'La battaglia di Legnano' ('The Battle of Legnano') is an opera in four acts, with music by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian-language libretto by Salvadore Cammarano. Most of the early Verdi operas are sort of rare for a reason. They do not rise to the heights of genius that his middle period and late period operas did. However, there are always some beautiful arias or choruses and most of them are great fun......sort of like bel canto on steroids! What I mean is that you can hear that he was coming from the bel canto tradition, but he liked to inject a lot more power into the characters and their music.

Verdi Requiem
Overview: The recording took place in Teatro Farnese di Parma, a kind of "mini-Verona" stage, but under roof. Probably good acoustics. But that doesn't rescue this perfomance of the Requiem mass, the fault is mainly being the conductor's, Yuri Temirkanov. He doesn't at all seems inspired of this work and not interested in whats happens on stage, if judged by the video. Particularly, he seems unintersted in the choir. The tenor, Francesco Meli, delivers a very inspired Ingemisco, but the other soloists are probably affected by the conductor.
