Silvia Dalla Benetta sings with warm even tone and characterises well...[Montanaro] draws shapely phases from the orchestra whilst the chorus of the Teatro Regio sing with their usual enthusiasm and vigour, vital in early Verdi. The video director realises the staging for the small screen with imagination and taste.
