Chor der Wiener Staatsoper & Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper, Evelino Pidò
It's no accident that Netrebko's better forays into bel canto have come with Garanca by her side, inspiring her to some lovely singing. Their voices blend beautifully...I find her a welcome counterpoint... — More…

Caterina Sala (Adina), Javier Camarena (Nemorino), Florian Sempey (Belcore), Roberto Frontali (Dulcamara)
Orchestra Gli Originali, Coro Donizetti Opera, Riccardo Frizza, Frederic Wake-Walker

The Glyndebourne Chorus & London Philharmonic Orchestra, Enrique Mazzola (conductor) & Mariame Clément (stage director)
