Zvetan Michailov (tenor), Renato Bruson (baritone), Michela Sburlati (soprano), Adriana Damato (soprano) Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Regio di Parma, Renato Palumbo Il Corsaro is still one of Verdi’s less known and performed operas. Chronologically speaking, it belongs to the famous ”years in the galley”, even though it dates from a period (the autumn of 1848) when the composer’s name, in Italy, could already be considered established. The young Verdi completed this opera to fulfil a contract obligation, therefore working without much enthusiasm. As a consequence this work has a number of unoriginal moments, which are however redeemed by many fine and poignant pages; the libretto’s concise dramatic action imposes an incisive and pressing rhythm to the music writing. In the cast is the renowned baritone Renato Bruson. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Zvetan Michailov (tenor), Renato Bruson (baritone), Michela Sburlati (soprano) & Adriana Damato (soprano) Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Regio di Parma, Renato Palumbo (conductor) & Lamberto Puggelli (director) Il Corsaro is still one of Verdi’s less known and performed operas. Chronologically speaking, it belongs to the famous ”years in the galley”, even though it dates from a period (the autumn of 1848) when the composer’s name, in Italy, could already be considered established. Although this is considered one of Verdi’s minor works, there are many exciting and poignant passages in it, and the tight dramatic action makes for music that has a pressing and incisive rhythm. The renowned baritone Renato Bruson and conductor Renato Palumbo stand out in the cast. The video recording makes the most of Lamberto Puggelli’s beautiful sets. Subtitles in 7 languages (Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese). | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
