Verdi:

Ciel, che feci! (from Oberto)

Qui ti rimani alquanto…Brezza del suol natio…Dal più remoto esilio…Odio solo, ed odio atroce (from I Due Foscari)

Brindisi I

orchestrated by Luciano Berio

L'esule

orchestrated by Luciano Berio

La mia letizia infondere (from I Lombardi)

In solitaria stanza

orchestrated by Luciano Berio

Eccomi prigionero! (from Il Corsaro)

Questa o quella (from Rigoletto)

La donna è mobile (from Rigoletto)

Lunge da lei…De’ miei bollenti spiriti (from La Traviata)

O mio rimorso (from La Traviata)

Amici miei, soldati!...La rivedrà nell'estasi (from Un ballo in maschera)

Fontainebleau! Foresta immensa e solitaria! (from Don Carlo)

Io la vidi e al suo sorriso (from Don Carlo)

Ingemisco (from Requiem)

Dal labbro il canto estasiato vola (from Falstaff)


Released to coincide with Verdi’s anniversary year (1813 to 2013.) A unique and carefully-crafted personal selection of Verdi arias and songs that takes us on a musical journey from Verdi's earliest compositions 1838 to the very last he wrote for the tenor voice: the beautiful aria from Falstaff "Dal labbro il canto estasiato vola" 1893

Featuring familiar, universal favourites such as “La donna e mobile” and “Questo o quella”, alongside less familiar gems from across Verdi’s operatic output.

Recorded in Turin, with the world-class Orchestra del Teatro Regio di Torino, and under the direction of award-winning conductor, Gianandrea Noseda.

Rolando owes his international breakthrough to Verdi: he has made opera history in La Traviata, Rigoletto and Don Carlo, as well as being a celebrated interpreter of the breath-taking Requiem. This is Rolando’s own personal tribute to one of history’s most popular composers.

“Villazon has made an interesting choice of programme...His sense of style and occasion are as unbridled as ever, the top of the voice not quite as free as it once was...[Noseda] has the taste not to try to make a whole opera out of each aria.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013

“It is good that the voice seems to have returned, but I find it disappointing that Villazon has not used it more imaginatively in this recital...When a solid tone and a ringing voice are needed, Villazon fits the bill: his top notes are not puny efforts but peal out.” International Record Review, February 2013

“Throughout, the greasepaint in Villazón’s singing finds a match in the fiery dash of the Orchestra Teatro Regio Torino and its conductor Gianandrea Noseda, always strong on drama, rhythm and colour.” The Times, 15th November 2012 ***

Diana Damrau (soprano), César Augusto Gutiérrez (tenor), Paul Armin Edelmann (baritone), Friedrich Halder (piano)

“Damrau bring both these vignettes to vivid life, trilling and waltzing through 'Lo spazzacamino' with gleeful abandon, and softening her natural diamantine brilliance when the gypsy girl momentarily reflects on an uncertain future. She's just as captivating as the proto-feminist protagonist of Stornello...[Freidrich Haider] matches Damrau all the way in devil-may-care zest.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2011

“[Damrau] has the more exuberant songs, in which she is fully home, tossing off the sprightliness...of 'Lo spazzacamino' and the bolero rhythm of 'La zingara' but holding the line of the more serious 'Perduta ho la pace'...Edelmann does not use a vast range of vocal colours in his singing...but I did not find him a dull interpreter. Perhaps 'storyteller' would be a more appropriate word than 'interpreter', and his tone is not one of hue or weight only.” International Record Review, May 2011

Ave Maria (from Otello)


Margaret Price (soprano) & Geoffrey Parsons (piano)

A real rarity, this. Verdi, famous for his operatic masterpieces, also found time to scale down his stage sentiments to the recital hall (or, in his time, the salon) to write songs. Throughout the 19th century, Italian opera composers wrote songs for the salon as part of their stock-in-trade. The texts were mostly conventional, harping more often than not on the string of unrequited love, sometimes venturing into the naively picturesque; while the accompaniment would be confined to simple thrummings suggestive of a guitar or an orchestral reduction. The settings would vary in scale from the strophic ‘romanza’, to the full length ‘scena ed aria’. In Italy, the salon was never far from the theatre. One of the 20th-century’s greatest singers – Margaret Price – went into the studio with Australian-born pianist Geoffrey Parsons to record music relatively neglected by recording companies, then, as now. And the results are at once, charming and revelatory. A considerable rarity, the disc returns to circulation on Eloquence.

“the simple accompaniments are mercifully free from wilful inflation on the part of the pianist’” Gramophone Magazine

“Salon songs to treasure - and spot the flickering echoes of Verdi's operas through them. Exquisitely sculpted performances, including Verdi's setting of Goethe's Gretchen songs.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2013 ****
