Orchestra I Pomeriggi Musicali, Coro del Circuito Lirico Lombardo, Tiziano Severini,

1843 was a milestone for three important 19th-century composers: Dresden staged the première of Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer; Paris that of Donizetti’s Don Pasquale; and Milan’s La Scala that of Verdi’s Lombardi alla prima crociata.

I Lombardi was born in the wake of Nabucco, with the openly declared intention of following on its success: same librettist, Temistocle Solera, same choral subject of religious imprint with patriotic overtones. Not less important for the success of this work was the choice of a subject of Lombard, better yet Milanese, setting. This is a choral opera in which one finds also beautiful solo passages.

The cast of this November 2001 live recording, under the baton of Tiziano Severini, is lead by the soprano Dimitra Theodossiou (the fine interpreter of Anna Bolena, Stiffelio and Attila) and by the famous bass Giorgio Surian.
