[ Warner Classics Home of Opera / 2 CD ]

Release Date: Friday 20 May 2016

Verdi holds a special place in Riccardo Muti's heart. Here he conducts the explosive opera whose nostalgic chorus, 'Va, pensiero', turned the composer into a hero of the Risorgimento, the movement for the unification of Italy. In the title role of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, Matteo Manuguerra is a baritone in the great tradition, while Renato Scotto brings both formidable temperament and bel canto delicacy to Abigaille.

"Scotto sings the most intelligent and, when needed, refined Abigaille on record." (Gramophone)
