In this nice Collection dedicated to Verdi Dynamic presents the live recordings of 5 Operas masterpieces plus one (Verdi Gala) with 5 beautiful concerts.
Within them you will find Nabucco which had its triumphant first performance at La Scala in Milan on 1842. The victory he won with this opera did not bring Verdi a definitive condition of economic security and ease to work.Throughout the 1840s Verdi set himself very intensive rhythms of work in order to consolidate his position as a successful composer. These were the infamous ”galley years”. Emblematic of this period are two operas proposed in our collection, Ernani and Il Corsaro.
With I Vespri Siciliani and La Forza del Destino we have two operas written when he was already an international celebrity. They has been written for two of the most important foreign theatres of the day, the Paris Opéra and the Imperial Theatre of St Petersburg.
