Donizetti: Marin Faliero

1835 edition


Giorgio Surian (Marino Faliero), Rachele Stanisci (Elena), Ivan Magrì (Fernando), Luca Grassi (Israele Bertucci), Luca Dall’Amico (Steno) & Leonardo Gramegna (Leoni)

Orchestra and Chorus of the Bergamo Musica Festival Gaetano Donizetti, Bruno Cinquegrani

Donizetti’s fiftieth opera, Marino Faliero, was first performed in Paris on 12 March 1835 with a cast comprising four of the finest singers of the period before premiering in London a few weeks later. Although these premières were both overshadowed by Bellini’s I Puritani, Marino Faliero subsequently enjoyed a long and successful run of international performances throughout the 19th century before disappearing from the stage until its modern revival in 1966. Set in Venice in 1355, it remains a major work of Italian Romanticism, sentimental, martial, full of conspiratorial adventure and culminating with the execution of the leading rôle.

This recording is also available on Naxos DVD 2110616-17.

“The work receives a dramatic direction from Bruno Cinquegrani, and nowhere does the tension sag...[Stanisci's] tone has something of a bite but is not unpleasant...Worthy contributions come from Luca Dall'Amico as a menacing Steno and from Domenico Menini in the few lines of the offstage gondolier....Anyone who enjoys Italian opera of this period could do worse than try Marino Faliero.” International Record Review, May 2011
