Gramophone
'Under John Matheson's masterly direction, every aspect of the score is performed with loving care and dramatic verve.... Josella Ligi's... voice is rich-hued and she sings here with senstivity and feeling.... The five supporting male singers were all Covent Garden stalwarts. The tenor André Turp is a suitably impassioned Gabriele, delivering his imprecations and love messages with Verdian élan... Gwynne Howell is, as ever, an appealing and stylish performer, suggesting both Fiesco's implacable opposition to Simone and, later, his remorse.' |
