Francesco Morlacchi was a native of Perugia, but early success led him to become music director of the Dresden Opera where he remained for the rest of his life despite having an opportunity to succeed Rossini in Naples in 1822. He did make tours to Italy however, and Tebaldo e Isolina received its triumphant premiere in Venice, becoming the most successful of all his operas. Morlacchi's gifts as a lyricist and for characterisation are heard here at their best, with showpiece arias and duets in a version of the Romeo and Juliet story that ends in happiness and the victory of reason over vengeance.
"Antonio Foglianini does his usual excellent job leading the proceedings with the Virtuosi Brunensis and the Camerata Bach Choir of Poznan maintaining their usual high standard of performance. The engineers of the SWR have done a truly wonderful job at capturing the acoustic of the Trinkhalle in Bad Wilbad. The sound is immediate and yet perfectly balanced." MusicWeb June 2020
