About
Ferdinando Paer (1 July 1771 – 3 May 1839) was an Italian composer of Austrian descent known for his operas and oratorios. Using the same subject matter as Beethoven did for his Fidelio, his opera is called Leonora and received its world premiere recording under Peter Maag for Decca, with a star-studded cast that included Siegfried Jersualem and Edita Gruberová. Here, it receives its first release on CD. The score was discovered by Maag in Parma, Paer’s birthplace. Eloquence has been systematically releasing the recorded repertoire of Peter Maag, and this is an important step in that journey.

Jerusalem is a noble Florestan and Gruberova outstanding as Marcellina.
Maag directs a piece for which he has an obvious affection with a care for both its lyrical and histrionic possibilities
