Registrazione del 2014

"Bellini calls for a mezzo-soprano in the male lead role. Vivica Genaux is Romeo in Biondi’s production with Europa Galante (made in Rieti) and she is joined by Valentina Farcas as Giulietta and supported by Davide Giusti (Tebaldo), Fabrizio Beggi (Lorenzo) and Ugo Guagliardo (Capellio). Fabio Biondi clearly aspires for his version of I Capuleti e i Montecchi to allow listeners to discover new details in and new perspectives on the musical score. In his notes he talks about his careful attention to questions of original acoustical conditions for an opera like this, how modern-day orchestral sizes are much larger than in Bellini’s time, the particular importance of score markings, and tempi choices."
