Federico Maria Sardelli

world première

“Vivica Genaux, Nathalie Stutzmann and Guillemette Laurens all contribute some good dramatic singing, and Romina Basso's creamy melodic singing is outstanding. Conductor Sardelli's methods are never extreme for the sake of a cheap thrill. Here we find a sincere attempt to let the story unfold through clearly communicated and simply delivered recitatives and superbly paced arias, and Modo Antiquo play with plenty of vivaciousness and sonority.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008

“Conductor Federico Maria Sardelli… has assembled a strong cast of soloists for L'Atendaide from among which Sandrine Piau in the title role… and Paul Agnew as Leontino, her father, stand out for their accomplished techniques… All in all a stimulating and accomplished achievement.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ****
