About

Ivan Repušic, who made his debut as principal conductor of the Münchner Rundfunkorchester in theautumn of 2017 with Giuseppe Verdi’s “Luisa Miller”, now presents a lesser-known masterpiece by the famous Italian opera composer. The concert performance of Verdi's early stage work “I due Foscari” was recorded on November 25, 2018 at the Munich Prinzregententheater.

Verdi's early masterpiece “I due Foscari” was the first opera he wrote for the Teatro Argentina in Rome. He had already worked on the material (Lord Byron's drama “The Two Foscari”), and, after a first subject had been rejected by the Roman censors, Verdi returned to it and had the libretto written by Francesco Maria Piave. Although the opera’s premiere on November 3, 1844 was only moderately successful, the work was still frequently performed up to the 1870s. It was rediscovered during the early 1950s and has since become a fixed part of the international opera repertoire.

The concert performance in Munich's Prinzregententheater received great acclaim from audience and critics alike. Ivan Repušic conducts a genuine theatrical Verdi here: vital, robust, fiery and extremely lively.

Reviews

September 2019

Nucci can still deliver in the title-role. He brings real dramatic authority and displays impressive residual heft in his baritone. There’s no hiding the signs of age, though…[Magrì] is an appealing singer with a bright tone and plenty of style. Guanqun Yu also makes a strong impression as Lucrezia, her soprano powerful and focused, with a nice Italianate colour to it. But I miss a bit of fire in the characterisation.

January 2020

a performance notable for unity and character...this is an excellent recording of I Due Foscari to which I will certainly return.

November 2019

Though Nucci’s interpretative gifts are happily intact, his magisterial baritone is not…yet the Lion of Venice resurfaces in his deeply-felt death scene…[Yu] sometimes scrambles Verdi’s fioriture but projects consistent, strong personality, and her opulent soprano is always pleasant on the ear…If we can take Nucci’s dodgy Doge – and on balance I can – there’s great pleasure to be had from this urgent, red-blooded reading of an under-prized, under-recorded work.
