About

The collaboration agreement signed last year between Dynamic and the renowned Rossini Opera Festival has led to this Bianca e Falliero, an opera which was premiered at La Scala in 1819. This work reaped great success with audiences but received contrasting reviews, some of them outright negative, which hindered its popularity, making it, in fact, disappear from the repertoire for almost a century and a half, from 1846 to 1986. The cast of the present recording features famous singers such as María Bayo and Daniela Barcellona alonside rising stars such as the tenor Francesco Meli. Renato Palumbo, recently appointed music director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, is on the podium.

Awards and reviews

July 2006

The opera… offers a good story with strong emotional confrontations, guarantees melody and rhythmic energy, skilful orchestration and opportunities for a feast of fine singing. …Daniela Barcellona, in the trousers-role of Falliero, is in great form and clearly the audience's favourite. Hers is a full-bodied voice and she moderates it well in consideration of her partner in duet, the lighter-voiced Maria Bayo, at her best in the more tender and delicate passages. Their counterparts in the Opera Rara recording compare well, with Larmore a more convincingly masculine Falliero, Cullagh warmer in tone as Bianca, and Barry Banks very much more listenable as the father. The chorus is excellent in both but I think what tips the balance of choice for me is the more refined orchestral playing and the more satisfying recorded sound of the Opera Rara. To compensate, this new version very effectively draws in the home listener to share the excitement of the live event.
